NEW RELEASE
AS THE EAGLE FLIES
By Nolwenn Le Blevennec
Translated from French by Madeleine Rogers
This is the story of an affair, or two. The narrator has been with Igor for seven years, and has two children with him – when she meets Joseph. Before long, they are deeply entangled with each other and she must decide between the life she knows with Igor and this unpredictable, and potentially destructive, affair. She is willing to start again with Joseph, but at what cost? And, does he feel the same way?
‘A subtle, singular novel of profound insight, delivered in a voice so hilarious, intimate and frank, it was as if I suddenly had a zany French genius for my best friend. I enjoyed this book so much it felt illicit.’
– Isobel Wohl, author of Cold New Climate
