Filles du Soleil - Daughters of the Sun - a dilapidated rooming house at St-Tropez on the French Riviera, inhabited in the off-season, when rates are low and tenants scarce, by writers, artists, and other ne'er do-wells.

Meet, among others, Plessi Toussaint, one of France's most infamous literary figures, winner of the coveted Prix M�dici, author of such scurrilous books as Cr�dillon, Condamn�, and Magn�to; Yvette Chanteloup, who gives clients more than strawberries in the back room of her waffle shop; her mysterious cousin, Iseult Plonevez, the author's muse, who fed her husband to the pigs; Dora and Polly, Irish expatriates; Honor� Velmandois, defrocked Sorbonne professor; Lise Escar�ne, married novelist and party-girl, with whom the author falls madly in love. Monsieur Nemours, concierge of Filles du Soleil; and meet Umberto, the bus driver; Madame Ste-Foy, tour guide on a pilgrimage to Rome; Marius, Baptiste and Antoine, waiters at le Gorille, a waterfront bar; meet the narrator, a struggling, misguided writer and Plessi Toussaint's prot�g�, who, while briefly intimidated by these misfits and party animals, eventually fits right in.
