The book is set in a colonial house on a Caribbean banana plantation and engages in a quasi-scientific inspection of human observation. The world is seen from the distorted, obsessionally detailed perspective of a jealous husband spying on his wife through slatted shutters (punningly, jalousies in French).
from Telegraph.co.uk on "Jealousy," the 1957 novel by post-war French writer/director Alain Robbe Grillet (died, Feb. 18, 2008)
