Everything about Emily King's world makes sense until the day she meets Lewis Lincoln. He's a handsome and charming economics professor. He's much older than Emily, and terribly sophisticated. And there's something mysterious about him. As her relationship with Lewis deepens Emily realises how little she knows about her lover. At the same time the students she's tutoring in the work of Proust, Balzac and Flaubert seem to offer confusing insights into her own life. Especially when she becomes friends with Margaret Darrow, one of her students, a middle-aged married woman whose husband David is a high-flying lawyer. The correspondences between the story Armstrong tells and the narratives her characters discuss are thrilling and mysterious. Armstrong's debut novel is a compelling, clever romance in which a sensible young woman discovers that life and books can connect in the most unpredictable ways.… (plus d'informations)

Desire and deceit are the twin topics of Armstrong's first novel. Emily King has spent time in Paris and loves the city. She is fluent in French, but finally decides to come home to Australia and work on a degree in French literature centered around Proust. To help bring in some money Emily becomes a part time French tutor where she meets and is captivated by the charming Lewis Lincoln. The author, through Emily, spends time delving into the intricacies of Proust's work "Remembrance of Things Past" including the sexual deceits that run throughout the books. In many ways this novel follows the themes Proust explored as we follow Emily's inability to realize the truth about her relationship with Lewis. Even if we suspect how the ending will turn out fairly early in the novel the author still has a few surprises in store in the last chapter. ( )
