The novel recounts the morbid passion of Ariane and Solal that will lead them to a slow and ineluctable self-destruction, but also, in a way, Cohen's love of the French language and writing.
It happens in the 1930s and takes place in Switzerland.
It's the 3rd book of a trilogy, but reading the 2 other books before isn't necessary.
