It's all about Sarah, her mysterious beauty, Sarah the impetuous, Sarah the passionate, Sarah the sulphurous, it's all about the exact moment when the match flares, the exact moment when that piece of wood becomes fire, when the spark lights up the darkness. Intoxicating and evocative, All About Sarah charts the all-consuming love affair between two young women- one a school teacher and single mother, the other a passionate musician, who meet at a party on New Year's Eve. One of the most dazzling debut novels to come out of France in recent years, All About Sarah beautifully conveys the exhilarating, dizzy-making intensity of their relationship, and, on the flipside, shows how exhausting, and ultimately destabilising intimacy can be.
