THE #1 FRENCH BESTSELLER<\/p>\n
\u201cStunning and heart-gripping.\u201d \u2014Andr\u00e9 Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name The award-winning, bestselling French novel by Philippe Besson\u2014\u201cthe French Brokeback Mountain\u201d (Elle)\u2014about 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.<\/p>\n
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 I\u2019m frightened when the wheels slip on the gravel on the dirt road, but the only thing that matters is that I\u2019m holding on to him, that I\u2019m holding on to him outside.<\/p>\n
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 he\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
Dazzlingly rendered in English by Ringwald in her first-ever translation, Besson\u2019s powerfully moving coming-of-age story captures the eroticism and tenderness of first love\u2014and the heartbreaking passage of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
