Summer in Paris. Leah, bored of tedious dead-end jobs, is intrigued to
spot a job advert posted by the famous author Michael Young: 'Writer
Seeks Assistant'.
After an unconventional interview, Michael invites Leah to spend summer
in the south of France with his family. But as she begins her work
transcribing his diaries of his debauched youth in 1960s Soho, the lines
of past and present, truth and deceit, begin to blur, and Leah has to
question what it is that Michael really sees in her.
A novel that challenges us to both question what we see, and what others
see in us.
