ABOUT THE BOOK

On the eve of their trip to South Africa, Lynne and her wife, Susan, find themselves in a Paris hotel room, preparing for the arrival of three people: Nick, Lynne's distant and guarded son; Laslo, Susan's effusive friend and long-time confidant; and Marc, a one-time professor living on borrowed glamour. What begins as a bon voyage turns into a simmering clash of old wounds and fresh resentments as the evening shifts from their hotel to a trendy restaurant.

As night falls, long-buried secrets rise to the surface, threatening to dismantle the carefully crafted facades each character has built. Through the winding corridors of Paris and the even more tangled landscapes of memory, these five people must confront the truths they've spent decades avoiding.

Set over three days, this unflinching exploration of family, betrayal, and the cost of silence asks whether we can ever truly escape our past—and what it takes to finally face the truths we've spent a lifetime running from.
