Can you fall in love and lose yourself with a woman who’s not your type?

Maurice is a successful writer. But now that he’s forty he feels nothing – nothing for his partner and nothing for his books. As he makes one last attempt to save his relationship, she appears, out of nowhere: Ambroisie. Once a stunning model and now a muse to Parisian high society, she's well-spoken and knows everything about everything. The author finds himself wearing designer shirts at a whirl of high-profile launch parties; under Ambroisie’s sublime but troubling affections, his identity gradually disappears. Drowning in all the glamour and the bright lights of Paris, Maurice neglects his books to live a romance he could never write. A story of power and fascination. Only 25, Line Papin already has three critically acclaimed novels to her name.
