A beautiful novel of self-discovery and new beginnings set against the backdrop of Paris and the isolated French coast, from the multi million-copy bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop

Claire Cousteau is one of France’s most esteemed biologists, with a seemingly perfect family life, but she has become increasingly frustrated by her marriage and her husband’s affairs.

As the Cousteaus prepare for a summer in Brittany, Claire’s son Nico asks if his new girlfriend, Julie, can join them? Julie has conundrums of her own - she is an ambitious woman, and unsure if Nico really is her match. But what the family don’t realise is that Julie and Claire have met before, in a Parisian hotel during a night that Claire thought was her secret.

Beneath the Breton sun, could their surprising bond alter the course of their lives for all time?

Publishers Weekly

George crafts lushly drawn settings that act as supporting characters, a talent on full display here as Brittany’s rugged coastline and powerful tides mirror the emotional turbulence of the novel’s protagonists. One Night in Paris is a powerful portrait of two women choosing to act on unexpected desires, regardless of age or circumstance.
