"Writer Seeks Assistant"—that's the ad Leah, a young Englishwoman who fled the dreary everyday life of London to Paris, sees in a newspaper. Renowned writer Michael Young entrusts her with the task of transcribing his diaries and invites her to spend the summer in the south of France with his family. On the seaside, Leah, with all the passion of youth, surrenders to the fun, making new acquaintances, and enjoying complete freedom. But the deeper Leah delves into the memories of Young's turbulent youth in 1960s Soho, the more the boundaries between past and present, truth and deception, blur. But one thought haunts Leah: why did Michael Young choose her for the job?

In her provocative new novel, Francesca Rees explores male and female perspectives on the nature of desire and ambition, and the lengths people are willing to go to achieve them.
