What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
She knew he was asking whether they would do it again. Share a secret hour behind closed doors. Whether this would start to mean something, or end here and now, in Room 32 of the Hotel Langlois, Paris.
From the outside, respected behavioural biologist Claire is happily married, with a perfect son. But behind closed doors she yearns for more, throwing herself from one affair to another.
Young Julie is trying to piece her life together – unsure exactly she wants. She needs something to set her heart and mind on fire. She is also the new girlfriend of Claire’s son, Nicolas, and through a chance encounter in a hotel, becomes aware of Claire's double life.
With an extended family break on the French coast on the horizon, can these two women keep their connection under wraps? Or will one night in a Parisian hotel change their lives for all time?
Set against the backdrop of a Parisian heat wave and the isolated French coast, the latest novel from international bestseller Nina George sees two women who would never ordinarily cross paths explore the emotional effects of marriages, affairs and unexpected friendships . . .

Critics Review
-
Captivating... This exploration of unfinished relationships has a haunting, evocative quality, and is a perfect, conversation-starting selection for book groups
Publishers Weekly
-
An effective exploration of connections that transcend physical boundaries.... a poignant story about longing, nostalgia, and the pain of missed opportunities
Kirkus
-
Immersive ... George’s fluid and lyrical prose carries the reader along as the story alternates from languid scenes to heavy emotions. It’s a worthy choice for the beach bag
Publishers Weekly
-
George crafts lushly drawn settings that act as supporting characters, a talent on full display here as Brittany’s rugged coastline and powerful tides mirror the emotional turbulence of the novel’s protagonists. One Night in Paris is a powerful portrait of two women choosing to act on unexpected desires, regardless of age or circumstance.
