Epigraph
Dedication
To My Parents
First words
I didn't know I was supposed to be dead within a year of marrying Rudi. Rudi knew, of course; he and Nadine had planned it. But that was all in Paris, and I wasn't even there.
Quotations
Reader, I married him. It was over in five minutes, and some simple black cabs took us to the Ritz.
I've always had birds. Much better than husbands. They talk more, make less mess, and are much cheaper to feed. Plus you can keep them even after they're dead.
Last words
