Scaffolding wer. angielska

‘Scaffolding is as enchanting and richly layered as a classic French film,’ praised by Kevin Barry in the New Statesman Books of the Year. The narrative explores the lives of two couples living in the same Parisian apartment, separated by nearly five decades. In 2019, Anna finds herself in a quiet, almost empty Paris after her partner David relocates to London for work. Her solitude is interrupted when a vibrant younger woman, Clémentine, moves into the building, drawing Anna into her orbit. Flashback to 1972, Florence is on the verge of completing her psychology degree and is considering motherhood, though her partner Henry is hesitant about becoming a father. Both are also preoccupied with their own outside interests. Through these parallel timelines, the novel delves into themes of marriage and fidelity, as the lives and echoes of these characters intertwine, unaware they share a common space. Described by Stylist as ‘intelligent, sexy and brilliantly observed,’ and lauded for its ‘atmospheric and evocative’ quality by the Observer, the book paints a vivid portrait of interconnected lives and timeless human dilemmas.
