One Night in Paris





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

From the outside, respected behavioural biologist Claire is happily married, with a perfect son. But behind closed doors she yearns for more, throwing herself from one affair to another.

Young Julie is trying to piece her life together – unsure exactly she wants. She needs something to set her heart and mind on fire. She is also the new girlfriend of Claire’s son, Nicolas, and through a chance encounter, becomes aware of Claire's double life.

With an extended family break on the French coast on the horizon, will this be the opportunity to let secrets lie? Or will one night in a Parisian hotel change these two womens' lives for all time?

Kirkus

Immersive ... George’s fluid and lyrical prose carries the reader along as the story alternates from languid scenes to heavy emotions. It’s a worthy choice for the beach bag

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.
