A review by ojdowdeswell
Lie with Me by Philippe Besson

5.0

Though the prose is sparse, the author has an unparalleled ability to create a strong sense of place and a strong sense of passion through his words.

Captures the essence of first love well, as well as the experience if growing up LGBTQ+ in both a time where being so wasn't as widely accepted and a rural area with less exposure to others like you.

A beautiful novel.
