Quatrième de couverture

This third-person narrative of relationships based on trues stories, woven in betrayal, lust, illusion and hope, and set in New York in the mid-1970s could be titled "The Parisian Kate Married." As he grapples with a migration project to the United States, a 24-year old African-born Frenchman, Morie, needs to find an elusive balance between a carefree Parisian lifestyle that might eventually catch up with him, and the commitment of marriage to a New York woman, Kate. It brings you in the tumultuous area of immigration and marriage, with marriage occurring not for love or mutual care, but for a green-card. You will find yourself wondering whether Morie is an actor, a diplomat, or a politician as he takes you along on his journey - trading Paris for New York.
