NOTES

Originally published in France in 2024 by Éditions Julliard as Un soir d'été

"In the summer of 1985, on a scruffy resort island off the coast of France, six teenagers--five boys and one girl--band together for a final golden season before adulthood. Their days are drenched in sun and freedom, and their nights simmer with secrets, jealousy, and longing. Philippe is drawn to Nicolas, the quiet new boy who sees him in a way that no one else does. As their bond deepens, part of Nicolas remains unreachable--and then a sudden tragedy brings everything to a brutal end." --

In English, translated from the French
