By Lauren Elkin, author of Flâneuse and Art Monsters, this novel follows two couples, fifty years apart, inhabiting the same Paris apartment in the Belleville neighbourhood.

In 2019, Anna is a psychoanalyst recovering from miscarriage and breakdown, who notices a new neighbour, Clémentine—just moved in and involved in a radical feminist collective.

In 1972, the same apartment is home to Florence and Henry—she finishing her degree in psychology, he uncertain about fatherhood, and both navigating the aftermath of political and intellectual ferment.

The novel is about how our homes gather history, memory, identity and desire; how the people we love and the places we occupy shape who we are and who we become.

“Smart and steamy… A beguiling puzzle — and a deep intellectual dive.” The Associated Press

“As sensual as it is cerebral.” The New York Times Book Review

“A subtle, sexy, exquisitely written jewel of a book.” Melissa Febos
