Features: "The thing I want to tell you is not easy to understand, and accepting it is even more difficult. But if you really want to hear my story, if you truly wish to trust me, then perhaps you will eventually believe me, and that is very important, because you yourself don’t know: You are the only person in the world who I can share this secret with." This is the debut novel of French architect Marc Lévy. As soon as it was published, it was quickly translated into over thirty languages, and Hollywood director Spielberg purchased the film rights for two million dollars, preparing to adapt it into a movie.
A resident intern doctor at a hospital in San Francisco, Lauren, becomes a vegetable after a car accident. One day, she appears in the bathroom closet of young architect Arthur, making him the only person who can see her and hear her speak. They soon develop a relationship. To prevent the hospital from carrying out an assisted death for Lauren, Arthur steals her body from the hospital at all costs. After several twists and turns, Lauren finally regains consciousness—but she no longer recognizes Arthur.
