Lie With Me

Exquisite, soft and shattering.

“Everything in this room that belongs only to us. Everything that is incommunicable to the rest of the world.”

A delicate, lyrical, melancholic memoir that follows Besson's first love with Thomas, a boy who is distant, already resigned to a tragic fate, a life of suppression. Such an intimate portrait of youth, vulnerability, desire, love.

“Have you noticed how the most beautiful landscapes lose their brilliance as soon as our thoughts prevent us from seeing them properly?”

Do I give too many books 4-5 start ratings? Perhaps, but I can't help it when the writing is this incredible!! I have too many quotes from this that I love.

“We are alone in the world. I've never enjoyed the rain so much.”
