She knew he was asking whether they would do it again. Share a secret hour behind closed doors. Whether this would start to mean something, or end here and now, in Room 32 of the Hotel Langlois, Paris.

Claire Cousteau is one of France’s most esteemed biologists, with a seemingly perfect family life. But behind closed doors she has become increasingly frustrated by the stasis of her marriage and her husband’s unremarked-upon affairs, and desperately wants something to change.

As she and her family prepare for their annual long summer on the Breton coast, her son Nico comes to her with a request: can his new girlfriend, Julie, join them? Julie has conundrums of her own - she is a young woman of ambition and can’t help but question whether kind, dependable Nico really is her match.

But what the rest of the family don’t realise is that Julie and Claire have met before, in a Parisian hotel during a night that Claire thought was her secret - a night that’s implications will colour their relationship from the moment it happens. Beneath the blazing Brittany sun, could their surprising bond be the spark to alter the course of their lives for all time?

Sensual, provocative, and stirring, Nina George’s One Night in Paris explores femininity in all its facets. It is a story of becoming who you were meant to be by breaking apart the things you've always known.
