A ladykiller, a horoscope-obsessed landlady, and murder in medieval Bruges—this 1969 curio demands resurrection.
Cécile teaches English at the Collegium in Bruges. She has a boyfriend, Thomas, a student at the Beaux-Arts. Cécile lives with Mrs. Hanka, who reads horoscopes and surrounds herself with natal charts. She says she's known a lot about people for 30 years.
