Delphine de Vigan’s award-winning psychological thriller.  D’après une histoire vraie (Based on a True Story) explores memoir and truth and an author’s license to invent.  It is a story of emotional vampirism that leaves readers questioning truth and its significance. 

The horrors of authorship . . . provide especially good material for psychological thrillers . . . [and] a twisted, witchy relationship that’s closer to identity theft than friendship . . . The final coup de grâce . . . will leave you with questions about the nature of reality and sanity.' - The New York Times Book Review

Primé par les critiques, ce roman à suspense psychologique enquête sur la mémoire et la vérité et, par le même biais, le droit de l’auteur à l’invention. «Delphine de Vigan joue de la porosité des frontières qui séparent le réel et la fiction avec une conviction qui donne par instants le vertige. » Telerama.
