Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe, a famous writer, chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back to Philippe's teenage years, to a winter morning in 1984, a small French high school, and a carefully timed encounter between two seventeen-year-olds. It's the start of a secret, intensely passionate, world-altering love affair between Philippe and his classmate, Thomas.

Dazzlingly rendered by Molly Ringwald, the acclaimed actor and writer, in her first-ever translation, Besson's exquisitely moving coming-of-age story captures the tenderness of first love - and the heart-breaking passage of time.

«It has been years since anything moved me as much as Lie With Me. It will become a classic.»
Jonathan Coe, bestselling author of Middle England

«An intense, unforgettable novel, alive with the ache of longing and loss.»
Sarah Waters, bestselling, award-winning author of The Little Stranger and Fingersmith

«Devastating and tender; this is the book I wish I'd read when I was 15, and a book I'm glad to have as a companion now»
Andrew McMillan, award-winning author of Physical

«A deeply moving depiction of first love, both tender and elegiac.»
John Boyne, bestselling author of A Ladder to the Sky and The Heart's Invisible Furies

«Stunning and heart-gripping»
Andre Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name

«A beautiful, shattering novel about desire and shame, about passionate youth and the regrets of age»
Olivia Laing, bestselling author of Crudo and The Lonely City

inês

este livro consegue captar a melancolia e a paixão proibida muito comum em livros sobre relações queer. a escrita é extremamente poética e elegante, conseguindo retratar muito bem o que cada uma das personagens, principalmente Philippe, estão a sentir. considero uma história inesquecível, que me persegue ainda, mesmo após alguns meses. é um livro pequeno, mas intenso- recomendo a toda a gente. feliz mês do orgulho!
