Beautiful Nights - Paperback

by Nina George (Author)

A nineteen-year-old woman and her boyfriend's mother begin an illicit affair one summer on the Brittany coast in this intense, poetic novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Little Paris Bookshop

Respected Parisian behavioral biologist Claire has become increasingly desperate to feel that she is still alive and not just functioning. Julie is waiting for something that will set her on fire inside--the rush of life, colors, courage and passion. A summer in Brittany brings the two different women together. Under the blazing sun, in the endless silence of the sea and in the raging storm of a night thunderstorm, they rediscover joy of life, femininity and passion - and will never be the same again.

Sensual, intense and precise, Nina George explores femininity in all its facets. Beautiful Nights is a story of becoming who you were meant to be by breaking apart the things you've always known.
