A haunting and heartfelt fairy tale for adults, Love of Seven Dolls by Paul Gallico is a poignant exploration of loneliness, cruelty, and redemption, wrapped in the delicate magic of a traveling puppet theatre.
Set in post-war Paris, the story follows Mouche, a desperate young woman on the verge of giving up on life. Her fate changes when she stumbles upon a puppet show and is drawn into a world where seven charming and mischievous puppets speak to her with warmth and wisdom. Their master, Michel, is cold and cruel, but the puppets seem to reveal the tenderness and love he cannot express himself.
Gallico masterfully blurs the line between fantasy and reality, crafting a psychological drama that reads like a dark fable.
