THE #1 FRENCH BESTSELLER

â€œStunning and heart-gripping.â€ â€”AndrÃ© Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name

The award-winning, bestselling French novel by Philippe Bessonâ€”â€œthe French Brokeback Mountainâ€ (Elle)â€”about an affair between two teenage boys in 1984 France, translated with subtle beauty and haunting lyricism by the iconic and internationally acclaimed actress/writer Molly Ringwald.

We drive at high speed along back roads, through woods, vineyards, and oat fields. The bike smells like gasoline and makes a lot of noise, and sometimes Iâ€™m frightened when the wheels slip on the gravel on the dirt road, but the only thing that matters is that Iâ€™m holding on to him, that Iâ€™m holding on to him outside.

Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship heâ€™s never forgotten, a hidden affair with a gorgeous boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Without ever acknowledging they know each other in the halls, they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair.

Dazzlingly rendered in English by Ringwald in her first-ever translation, Bessonâ€™s powerfully moving coming-of-age story captures the eroticism and tenderness of first loveâ€”and the heartbreaking passage of time.
