LOS ANGELES, 2015
When Cecilia Chen is involved in a car accident soon after moving to LA with her husband and children, she’s stunned to recognise the other driver: Anouk Ferrand – a woman she hasn’t seen in twenty years, yet has never been able to forget.
MEXICO, 1996
Cecilia was a young photographer’s assistant; Anouk, an unknown model on the cusp of becoming a sensation. For a few brief days on the wild Mexican coast, their worlds collided with an intensity that altered the course of Cecilia’s life – though she never knew whether Anouk felt it, or even remembered her.
Now Anouk is impossible to ignore: magnetic, accomplished, and suddenly back in Cecilia’s orbit. And as the spark between them reignites into an irresistible affair, Cecilia is forced to confront everything she knew about desire, devotion and the life she has built.
Some affairs are decades in the making – and this one is about to change everything.
Praise for The Idea of You:
'This slayed me' Taylor Jenkins Reid
'Summer's sauciest, sexiest read' Red
'I'm madly in love with this novel' Curtis Sittenfeld
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An artist explores her relationship with a veteran supermodel in the enticing latest from Lee (The Idea of You). Cecilia Chen's life has just been doubly disrupted, first by moving with her husband, François, and their two children from her beloved Paris home to Los Angeles in 2015, where François has been hired to film a big-budget trilogy, and second by the discovery of François's affair with his much younger leading lady. The action begins in L.A., when Cecilia gets into a three-car accident with Anouk Ferrand, whom she first met in 1996 at a fashion shoot in Cabo San Lucas. Back then, Cecilia, who's now a fine artist, was in her 20s and working as a photo assistant, and teenaged Anouk was on her way to fame as a model. Lee moves fluidly between Cecilia's tentative present-day affair with Anouk and flashbacks to 1996, in which it's gradually revealed what happened in Cabo San Lucas. Throughout, Lee explores the theme of power dynamics in sexual relationships and proves herself a steely observer of class and racial tensions, as Cecilia reflects on her middle-class parents' hang-ups about her new rarefied life and the complex identity she inherited from her Indian Jamaican mother and Chinese Jamaican father. This will keep readers turning the pages.
