Description:

When the pioneering Taiwanese novelist Qiu Miaojin committed suicide in 1995 at age twenty-six, she left behind her unpublished masterpiece, LAST WORDS FROM MONTMARTRE. Unfolding through a series of letters written by an unnamed narrator, LAST WORDS tells the story of a passionate relationship between two young women—their sexual awakening, their gradual breakup, and the devastating aftermath of their broken love.
