• A prize-winning bestseller in France. ( Lean on Me • won the 2018 Prix Interallié, a highly respected fiction award whose past winners include Michel Deon and Michel Houellebecq.)

• A 400-page paperback, full of passion, Parisian scenes and thoughtful writing, Lean on Me • is a perfect pick for vacation reading, book clubs, and gifts.
