WHEN THE +33 COUNTRY CODE FLASHES UP ON THE PHONE, VIVIENNE FITZGERALD KNOWS WHO'S CALLING. It was just the thing to spoil her perfectly pleasant afternoon - a call from her mother.
"Salut maman!" Viv called from her end of the phone, pouring herself a glass of gin.
"Ah, Vivienne ma cherie, comment ca va?" Her mother replied in a sweet, shrill voice.
It wasn't the same as the smooth, almost silky voice she had memorised - perhaps her mother was ill.
She didn't sound like her mother, but only her mother called her Vivienne. The rest of her family likened to calling her V or Vivi.

But in truth, Viv missed her family. But they were too busy following passions around to be there for her.
Her brother was in the army.
Her sister worked for one of the best law firms in the entire world.
Her father was in London writing books about being a neurosurgeon, making more millions than the number of surgeries he had performed.
And her mother was currently engaging in business transactions in Milan.
"Bien. Tout se passe bien. Maintenant, Vivienne, je voudrais parler avec toi."
