Synopsis

‘A master storyteller’ Huffington Post

‘A delightful literary soufflé’ Library Journal

From the bestselling author of The Red Notebook

While wandering through a Paris auction house, avid collector Pierre-Francois Chaumont is stunned to discover the eighteenth-century portrait of an unknown man who looks just like him.

Much to his delight, Chaumont's bid for the work is successful, but back at home his jaded wife and circle of friends are unable to see the resemblance. Chaumont remains convinced of it, and as he researches into the painting's history, he is presented with the opportunity to abandon his tedious existence and walk into a brand new life...

Translated by Jane Aitken and Emily Boyce.
