Amazon.com description: Product Description: Novela de inspiracion autobiografica, Petronille es una ficcion delirante y tremendamente comica. Amelie Nothomb sumerge al lector en el estado de ebriedad entre ascetico y alucinatorio del alcohol consumido en ayunas gracias a una prosa excelente en la que abundan el humor negro, la ironia y la genialidad estilistica que la caracterizan. / The on-again/off-again friendship between Pétronille and the main character in the book, who happens to be a writer by the name of Amélie Nothomb, gives the story its verve and the novel its heart. A literary Thelma & Louise, with a little bit of French panache and a whole lot of champagne thrown in.
