Oliver and Madison Malin are the "IT" couple living a
luxurious life in none other than the City of Lights. He,
a well sought-after philosopher, and she, a beautiful and
chic actress, are what screen writers only dream of
putting up on the big screen. Fortunately for them, theirs
is the real thing. C'est l'amour!
Commitment in its true sense has never been a word
that Oliver has fully grasped the meaning of nor has he
ever desired to emulate. Perhaps his definition is not
what is found in Webster's dictionary; however, for all
intents and purposes, he really does love his wife and of
course his frequent dalliances, too. If truth be told,
don't all Frenchmen? Why then should Oliver not support
the cause and make his fellow countrymen proud?
A native Texan being suddenly transplanted to the
other side of the Atlantic does have its perks for
Madison. Yes, her roles du jour do entail a bit more
flesh than lines, but if she wants to become a true
European, she must shed a little skin to get ahead. Her
dashing and debonair husband attracts the intellectuals
while Madison does her best to play the role of his
superstar and femme fatale wife. Together, they take the
continent by storm as they try their hand at marriage and
parenthood.
When an innocent family outing turns into a
disastrous affair, the Malins come face to face with their
own imperfections while trying to come together in this
time of trouble. What had seemed like the perfect union
slowly starts to unravel and what is left behind is quite
revealing. Will their love be strong enough to survive or
is their love affair over? Oh! Là! Là!
Kate Muir's LEFT BANK oozes with delicious details
of what life is truly like in a privileged neighborhood in
the enchanting city of Paris. From the scrumptious and
delectable cuisine to the tantalizing and seductive lives
of a paramour, Muir seduces the reader into entering her
fascinating world as only can told by someone as
captivating as Muir herself.
A chic peek at the glittering inhabitants of Paris's most
exclusive neighborhood
With the sting of a good
Camembert, Kate Muir's fiction debut is a sophisticated,
fun, and delightfully ironic look at family life, Left Bank
style. Olivier and Madison Malin are the toasts of Rive
Gauche. A philosopher and media personality, Olivier is the
darling of the Paris cafés with his perfectly tousled hair
and mistress de jour on speed dial. An American film star
turned Parisian "It" girl, Madison busies herself playing
the part of the bon vivant. But when a crisis occurs with
their daughter, these self-centered parents are forced to
focus on something more than their own reflections. Left
Bank is at once a delicious satire of Parisian
pretension and a celebration of the city's alluring glamour.
