Lie With Me: ‘Stunning and heart-gripping’ André Aciman

A gorgeous coming-of-age love story about two teenage boys in 1980s France Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe, a famous writer, chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back to Philippe’s teenage years, to a winter morning in 1984, a small French high school, and a carefully timed encounter between two seventeen-year-olds. It’s the start of a secret, intensely passionate, world-altering love affair between Philippe and his classmate, Thomas. Dazzlingly rendered by Molly Ringwald, the acclaimed actor and writer, in her first-ever translation, Besson’s exquisitely moving coming-of-age story captures the tenderness of first love – and the heart-breaking passage of time. —- ISBN: 9780241987094 | ISBN10: 0241987091 | ISBN-13: 978-0241987094
