Lean on Me was included in a New York Times list of books in translation in 2022.
A prize-winning bestseller in France. (Lean on Me won the 2018 Prix Interallié, a highly respected fiction award whose past winners include Michel Deon and Michel Houellebecq.)
A Parisian love story, described by Le Figaro as 'a great novel about the chaos of love'. Yet also a novel about the disconnect and pressure of modern-day life. Lean on Me paints passion and intimacy as forms of resistance in a society focused on capital and commodity.
Joncour's English debut Wild Dog was reviewed favourably on both sides of the Atlantic, with The Guardian calling it 'eerie and sensual' and the New York Journal of Books describing it as 'a modern fairy tale'.
Wild Dog was also a Strong Words Magazine book of the year 2020 and award-winning author of We Begin at the End, Chris Whitaker called it 'so beautifully done sinister and savage'.
A 400-page paperback, full of passion, Parisian scenes and thoughtful writing, Lean on Me is a perfect pick for vacation reading, book clubs, and gifts.
