$35.00 Inc GST
Corsica, 1993. Seventeen-year-old Sverine Guimard knows in her heart that it’s only a matter of time before she’ll escape this provincial island for Hollywood’s glimmering lights. Until then, she’ll spend her days listening to “What is Love” on her Walkman, smoking cigarettes, and riding her bike at dusk along the picturesque roads that wind around her parents’ gated villa.
That is until three masked men emerge from an idling car, tear her from her bike, duct tape her mouth and wrists, and take her somewhere hidden from prying eyes…
Sverine’s face will be plastered all over newspapers and TV, but not for the reason you think.
How does one kidnapped young woman become the face of a revolution?
Sexy, propulsive, explosive, and profound, La Bombasse is an international literary thriller about the kidnapping and radicalisation of a young girl, the wonders and perils of youth and the life-altering power of love.
