Her
obsessions devour her. She is helpless to stop them...
Adèle has a
seemingly enviable life. She is a respected journalist, living in a flawless
Paris apartment with her surgeon husband and their young son. But beneath the
veneer of ‘having it all’, Adèle is bored. She begins to orchestrate her life
around one-night stands and extramarital affairs, arriving late to work and
lying to her husband about where she’s been, until her compulsions threaten to
consume her altogether…
“Written in prose of elegant but never bloodless neutrality . . . [Adèle] leads readers through the labyrinth of desire into an understanding of solitude, isolation and the search for authenticity as our common fate.” - INDEPENDENT
“No man would have dared write what she did. It’s an extraordinary first novel.” - ALAIN MABANCKOU
