One Night in Paris

One night in a Parisian hotel, Claire Cousteau, a leading biologist with a picture-perfect family life, enjoys an encounter that she thought was her secret.

Back in the fold, Claire and her family prepare for their annual long summer in Brittany, and her son Nico asks if his new girlfriend Julie can join them.

But unbeknown to Claire’s husband and son, the two women have met before – and Julie carries her own hidden desires and conundrums that only Claire could possibly understand.

Beneath the blazing Breton sun, will their surprising bond come to light? And will it alter the course of their lives for all time?

Captivating... This exploration of unfinished relationships has a haunting, evocative quality, and is a perfect, conversation-starting selection for book groups
