An intoxicating and evocative novel about the all-consuming love
affair between two women in Paris and the ruin it leaves in its
wake. It's all about Sarah, her mysterious beauty, Sarah the
impetuous, Sarah the passionate, Sarah the sulphurous, it's all
about the exact moment when the match flares, the exact moment when
that piece of wood becomes fire, when the spark lights up the
darkness. A 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.

affair between two women in Paris and the ruin it leaves in its
wake. 'Captivating...intense...seductive' Guardian A
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
