About Lie With Me by Philippe Besson
Set in 1984 France, Philippe Besson’s Lie With Me follows a hidden affair between two boys during their final year of high school. They keep their relationship private, finding time to meet away from the halls where they appear not to know one another.
Years later, a chance encounter outside a Bordeaux hotel—with a young man who resembles his first love—leads Philippe to look back on the relationship he has never forgotten. This tender, reflective coming-of-age romance may appeal to readers of queer and literary fiction interested in first love, secrecy, and the passage of time. The English translation is by Molly Ringwald.
