Anonymity guilin massage is so crucial to Laura's equilibrium
that at first she contacted her publishers only by e-mail, never face to face. She is fiercely keen to protect the identity of all concerned - and not surprisingly. Her book, entitled Mes chères études, caused a minor scandal in France (it has been retitled Scandalous for its British imprint, complete with a twee, sexy, chick-litesque cover that contradicts the book's sombre content) and will doubtless cause a bigger one when it is turned into the inevitable film - because Laura was, and still is, a student. You can imagine producers salivating over the Lolita-esque trailer potential already.
Laura D doesn't conform to any of the stereotypes in my bank of prostitute images - although, granted, that bank is filled mainly with happy hookers, glacial belles de jour and tragic victims. With her clear complexion and scrubbed face, the French girl munching biscuits on a sofa next to me in her Paris publisher's office looks even younger than her 20 years. She is olive-skinned, dark-haired, dark-eyed (her father's family came from Spain) and dressed casually in jeans and a loose top. She looks like lots of teenagers. The only faintly distinguishing mark is the tiniest piercing I have ever seen, just below one eye. It looks like a teardrop.
A year ago, Laura - not her real name - wrote a book about the year she spent part-timing as a prostitute in a town that she calls “V”. It is the town where she had lived all her life with her father, a factory worker, and her mother, a nurse (those are not their true occupations, guilin massage either, though both of them have similarly respectable, low-paid jobs in real life).
