Paul
Daisy LafargeA sharp, timely debut about a young woman’s toxic relationship with an older man & her battle to free herself from the suffocating expectation to be “good”
When personal scandal forces her to leave Paris, Frances, a young British graduate student, travels to southern France one summer to volunteer on a farm. Almost as soon as she arrives, she is pulled into a relationship with the farm’s enigmatic owner, Paul, a well-traveled older artist. Alone in a foreign country, drawn into his orbit, & eventually tangled up in his sheets, Frances starts to lose herself in Paul’s easy, experienced charm.
Yet over the course of three intense weeks, as she discovers more about Paul & the people surrounding him, she realizes that she’s caught in an emotional battle of wills that threatens to stifle her voice & crush her autonomy. Coming to terms with what’s happening to her & wresting control from an older man with dark secrets of his own are at the heart of this compelling, unsettling novel.
By turns the story of how a modern woman finds the inner strength to regain her sense of self & a fascinating exploration of the power dynamics between men & women, Paul is a deeply human novel that holds a mirror up to many of the issues that people confront today.
