All About Sarah | Pauline Delabroy-Allard

An intoxicating and evocative novel about the all-consuming love affair between two women in Paris and the ruin it leaves in its wake.'Captivating...intense...seductive' GuardianA thirty-something teacher drifts through her life in Paris, raising a daughter on her own, lonely in spite of a new boyfriend. Then one night, at a friend's tepid New Year's Eve party, Sarah enters the scene like a tornado. A talented young violinist, she is loud, vivacious, appealingly unkempt in a world where everyone seems preoccupied with being 'just so'. It is the beginning of an intense relationship, tender and violent, that will upend both women's lives.A literary sensation in France, All About Sarah perfectly captures the pull of a desire so strong that it blinds us to everything else.'All About Sarah moves impressively from the chaos and noise of love, to silence and solitude, like a spun coin settling' Observer
