I had to read two French novels for class and this was one of them. By the end I knew what was going on, but I really would appreciate a summary so I can get a better idea of what happened! I've tried Google and I can't find anything helpful. I also have no idea what an "ombre chinoise" is. I know what it means literally, but I feel like it might be a French saying I don't know. Can anyone help me out?

In short:
1. Summary of text (in French or English)
2. Meaning of French title (and significance to book if you know it!)

Thanks!
Ok, I've found out what an ombre chinoise is. But still not its relevance to the text.
