Synopsis
Previously entitled IF ONLY IT WERE TRUE, this debut novel about the romance between the wandering spirit of a coma patient and the new tenant of her San Francisco apartment was a bestseller in France and was adapted into a 2005 film starring Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. Severe head injuries from a car accident put Dr. Lauren Kline into a coma. But although Lauren's body remains at the hospital, her spirit is free to roam. Believing Lauren will never wake up, her mother eventually decides to rent out her apartment to Arthur, an overworked architect. He loves his new place, but is a little taken aback to discover a woman inside his linen closet who says the apartment belongs to her and insists that no one else can see, hear, or touch her. From this awkward beginning, the two embark upon a tentative and highly unusual romance, which comes under threat when Lauren's mother wants to take her daughter's body off life support.

Industry Reviews
"Levy's prose is no better than his plotting: his informational sentences display almost no sense of the urgencies of language or strivings for expression. What can you say when French rationalists take this pancake-batter to heart? Will moviemad, dough-brained Americans do likewise?"
Pritchett
