Le Divorce meets The Elegance of the
Hedgehog in this hilariously entertaining
mega-bestseller from France
When her
chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile
farm in Kenya with his mistress, Joséphine Cortès is left in
an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of two—confident,
beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish Zoé—is forced to
maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her
meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile,
Joséphine’s charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all—a
wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a très chic Paris
address—but she dreams of bringing meaning back into her
life. When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her
a lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers
her sister a deal of her own: Joséphine will write the novel
and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published
under Iris’s name. All is well—that is, until the book
becomes the literary sensation of the season.
