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, Josรฉphine Cortรจs is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of twoโconfident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish Zoรฉโis forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Josรฉphineโs charismatic sister Iris seems to have it allโa wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a trรจs chic Paris addressโbut 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: Josรฉphine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Irisโs name. All is wellโthat is, until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season. ISBN:9780143121558
