The First Thing You See

Grégoire Delacourt

2.7/5 ( ratings)

THE FIRST THING YOU SEE ... isn't always what you get! The brilliant new novel from the author of THE LIST OF MY DESIRES, a Waterstones Book Club pick and international bestseller.
Arthur Dreyfuss is a young mechanic at a garage in the little community of Long, France. He has a small flat and leads a simple life. So, imagine his surprise when he opens his door one evening to find a distraught Hollywood starlet standing before him.

But although feigning an American accent, this woman is not all that she seems. For her name is actually Jeanine Foucamprez - and her story is very different from the glamorous life of a star. Arthur is not all he seems, either; a lover of poetry with a darker past than one might imagine, he has learnt to see beauty in the mundane.

A tender story about two fragile souls trying to love each other, THE FIRST THING YOU SEE will convince you that true beauty lies within.
