Desire & Lies

Paris, 1957. A young American wife sits at a dust-sheeted piano in her husband's apartment. She has stopped playing. She has stopped writing to her sister. She has not yet stopped pretending that everything is fine. One evening, at a literary salon, she meets a man who will change everything — and gives him a name that is not hers. From the salons of 1950s Paris to the quiet hedges of 1960s Greenwich, Connecticut, four voices — two sisters, a lover, a sharp-eyed French nanny — circle a secret buried for seven years, and what happens when it resurfaces.
