The award-winning, internationally bestselling novel-"the French Brokeback Mountain" (Elle)-about a love affair between two teenage boys in a provincial high school in 1984 France, brilliantly translated by acclaimed writer and actress Molly Ringwald.While passing through the village where he grew up, the narrator, Philippe, chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love, Thomas. The son of farmers, Thomas is trapped by convention and eventually ends the affair. What follows is an account of the relationship, twenty-five years earlier, between two teenagers from different social spheres: the bookish Philippe and the popular Thomas barely acknowledge one other at school-and yet, stealing time to meet alone, they carry on a passionate and secretive affair.
A winning and nuanced portrait of two teenagers wrestling with desire and identity, Lie With Me is a heartbreaking and powerful novel from a master of the form. When, decades later, Philippe encounters Thomas's son, he finds out what became of Thomas, finally bringing a resolution to the relationship that defined his youth.Translated by Molly Ringwald, this classic coming-of-age story is rich in 80s nostalgia, the complex dynamics of high school, and the tenderness of first love.
