Synopsis

Parisians behaving badly: a dinner party implodes in this darkly compelling tale, perfect for fans of Elizabeth Day.

In tired, hot Paris at the end of August, a group of friends, who’d rather still be at the sea, meet for a dinner in one couple’s apartment.

Taking us behind the shutters of the Sixth Arrondissement, with a cast of characters that both delight and repel, fractured relationships, manipulation, bad behaviour and desperation are all laid bare in this very contemporary take on a Parisian huis clos story.

What starts as just a little dinner ends up having monumental consequences for everyone.

Shortlisted for the 2024 Prix Goncourt du Premier Roman 

Winner of the 2023 Prix Littéraire Gisèle Halimi for Women’s Writing
