Le Divorce meets The Elegance of the Hedgehog in this hilariously entertaining mega-bestseller from FranceWhen her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, Joséphine Corts is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of two-confident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish Zoé-is forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Joséphines charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all-a wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a trs chic Paris address-but she dreams of bringing meaning back into her life.When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her a lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers her sister a deal of her own: Joséphine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Iriss name. All is well-that is, until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season.
