Lie With Me: 'Stunning and heart-gripping' André Aciman
Autor Philippe Besson Traducere de Molly Ringwalden Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 sep 2019
'Stunning and heart-gripping'André Aciman, author ofCall Me by Your Name
'A beautiful, shattering novel about desire and shame, about passionate youth and the regrets of age' Olivia Laing, bestselling author ofCrudo
Just outside a hotel in Bordeaux, Philippe, a famous writer, chances upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back to Philippe's teenage years, to a winter morning in 1984, a small French high school, and a carefully timed encounter between two seventeen-year-olds. It's the start of a secret, intensely passionate, world-altering love affair between Philippe and his classmate, Thomas.
Dazzlingly rendered by Molly Ringwald, the acclaimed actor and writer, in her first-ever translation, Besson's exquisitely moving coming-of-age story captures the tenderness of first love - and the heart-breaking passage of time.

A stunning and heart-gripping tale
An intense, unforgettable novel, alive with the ache of longing and loss.
It has been years since anything moved me as much asLie With Me. It will become a classic
A deeply moving depiction of first love, both tender and elegiac.
A timeless love story.Molly Ringwald's translation is as clear and beautiful as the story it depicts.You'll read it in a night, but its exquisite heartbreak will linger.
The uncanny thrill of Philippe Besson'sLie With Merises up from Molly Ringwald's elegant translation with the intensity of meeting a stranger on a train who tells you a single unforgettable story and then leaves. Andhis voice haunts me still
An elegiac tale of first, hidden love between two teenage boys who have no chance of a shared future, "Lie with Me" sold more than a hundred thousand copies in France, where it won several prizes and is being made into a movie.
Lie With Meis an exquisite whisper that lingers long after you've finished reading it
Devastating and tender;this is the book I wish I'd read when I was 15, and a book I'm glad to have as a companion now
A lovely novel, a painful story of love and loss. . .Lie with Mesucceeds as a novel because of Besson's graceful writing, beautifully translated by Ringwald. Besson is a gifted stylist, and he infuses Philippe's story with the right notes of sadness and longing.
Thisgorgeous, aching novelcaptures all of the fear and freedom of young desire. . .may well be the best gay love story in contemporary fiction. I dare you to read it without crying.
This is a gorgeous fever dream of a book.Ringwald's translation does elegant justice to Besson's balance of beauty and despair, and to his interrogations of memory and longing.Lie With Mepositively glows in the dark.
A bittersweet love story,told from the perspective of a gay man remembering his first romantic affair as a teenager in a small town in the south of France in 1984.
At first erotic and joyous, ultimatelyelegiac and haunting,Lie With Meis a deceptively slender book as big as life itself
Inspare yet evocative prose, elegantly translated by Molly Ringwald,Philippe Besson relates the erotic awakening of two adolescent boys in a small French town in the 1980s.Lie With Mecaptures their world with the grainy poignancy of an old high school yearbook, while movingly conveying the quintessential human dramas of longing, love, and letting go.
The FrenchBrokeback Mountain
A man looks back at his first love, a forbidden homosexual affair during his last year of high school in a small French town in the 1980s.Though a screenwriter and playwright, Mr. Besson does not rely on direct dialogue but reconstructs conversations from a fog of memories in this coming-of-age story. A French best seller likened to "Call Me By Your Name" and "Brokeback Mountain," the novel marks the first English translation by the actress and writer Ms. Ringwald, a longtime Francophile.
Molly Ringwald translated this FrenchCall Me By Your Name-esque novel about two teenagers in 1984 Bordeaux as they fall in love in the shadows,leaving one of them to reflect on the relationship many years later
There's much book-to-filmstar appeal in thismoving, well-plottedtale:Elledubbed it "the French Brokeback Mountain";there's something ofCall Me by Your Name'sElio in Philippe, who lives in the books he reads and writes; and actress and writer Ringwald ably translates.
Moving ... Besson's writing and Ringwald's smooth translation provide emotional impact.
Universally touching
Besson is a thoughtful writer who can strike home with vivid imagery. . .[and] deftly translated [by Ringwald].
This Year'sCall Me by Your Name...While the starring peach ofCall Me by Your Namewas the perfect metanym for that lush and gauzy tale,Lie With Meunpeels like a springy orange. The boys' relationship is bare but segmented, each encounter entirely isolated from the others, with only a thin membrane to keep all that tart juice from bursting out. . .[A] moving and graceful novel
A story of queer adolescence in rural France in the 1980s, Besson's "Lie With Me" is a primer on the tenacity of desire...Molly Ringwald, by delightful coincidence an icon of '80s John Hughes films, provides a limpid translation that preserves all the earnest mystery of teenage sex...Besson keeps his study in intimacy fresh through nimble plot twists, in which the present disturbs a certain version of the past, creating repercussions for the future.Equal parts André Aciman and Marguerite Duras, "Lie With Me" poignantly reflects on why some memories fade and others do not.
A slender, sad, acute novel... absolutely excellent
Full of Proustian echoes,this story of gay adolescence deals with complex issues of class, shame and secrecy
A poignant tale that captures the intensity of first love with all its sadness, longing and regret
A clear-sighted and passionate coming-of-age narrative. Detailing in elegant and plain prose the anxious and intense first falling-in-love between two schoolboys,Lie With Mehas a tenderness and insight that is reminiscent of the writings of Garth Greenwell. This novel can be read in a matter of hours, but its impact, like the love affair it details, will echo in the mind
Moving, intense, sad and sensuous
