André Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name The award-winning, bestselling French novel by Philippe Bessonthe French Brokeback Mountain (Elle)about an affair between two teenage boys in 1984 France, translated with subtle beauty and haunting lyricism by the iconic and internationally acclaimed actress/writer Molly Ringwald. We drive at high speed along back roads, through woods, vineyards, and oat fields. The bike smells like gasoline and makes a lot of noise, and sometimes Im frightened when the wheels slip on the gravel on the dirt road, but the only thing that matters is that Im holding on to him, that Im holding on to him outside. Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship hes never forgotten, a hidden affair with a gorgeous boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Without ever acknowledging they know each other in the halls, they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair. Dazzlingly rendered in English by Ringwald in her first-ever translation, Bessons powerfully moving coming-of-age story captures the eroticism and tenderness of first loveand the heartbreaking passage of time.
