Kiran Millwood Hargrave: Almost Life, Gebunden

Klappentext

'Immersive, sensual, beautiful and powerful' - Marian Keyes
'Hot, smart and completely captivating - this is a truly luscious love story. I'll never forget it' - Daisy Buchanan

One chance encounter can define a lifetime

Erica and Laure meet on the steps of the Sacré-Cœur in Paris, 1978. Erica is a student, relishing her first summer abroad before beginning university at home in England. Laure is studying for her Ph. D. at the Sorbonne, drinking and smoking far too much, and sleeping with a married woman. The moment the two women meet the spark is undeniable: but their encounter turns into far more than a summer of love. It is the beginning of a relationship that will define their lives and every decision they have yet to make . . .

Erica and Laure's love story spans decades, marriage, children, secret trysts, and the agonizing changes - both personal and political - that might mean they can be together, after all. But when life brings them within touching distance again, will they be brave enough to seize a future together?

Almost Life is a story of longing for the paths not taken, and the almost lives we live.

'A beautifully told story about love, longing, and the lives we almost live'- Louise O'Neill
