She knew he was asking whether they would do it again. Share a secret hour behind closed doors. Whether this would start to mean something, or end here and now, in Room 32 of the Hotel Langlois, Paris.
Claire Cousteau is one of France's most esteemed biologists, with a seemingly perfect family life. But behind closed doors she has become increasingly frustrated by the stasis in her marriage and her husband's unremarked-upon affairs.
As she and her family prepare for a long summer on the Breton coast, her son Nico comes to her with a request: can his new girlfriend, Julie, join them?
But what the rest of the family don't realise is that Julie and Claire have met before, in a Parisian hotel during a night that Claire thought was her secret - a night that's implications will colour their relationship from the moment it happens. Beneath the blazing Brittany sun, could their surprising bond be the spark to alter the course of their lives for all time?
Sensual, provocative, and stirring, Nina George's One Night in Paris is a story of becoming who you were meant to be by breaking apart the things you've always known.
