The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles
of Katherine Pancol, William Rodarmor (Translation), Helen Dickinson (Translation)
Series: Joséphine #1
Description
Le Divorce meets The Elegance of the Hedgehog in this hilariously entertaining mega-bestseller from France When her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in Kenya with his mistress, JosĂ©phine CortĂšs is left in an unhappy state of affairs. The mother of twoâconfident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy, babyish ZoĂ©âis forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, JosĂ©phineâs charismatic sister Iris seems to have it allâa wealthy husband, gorgeous looks, and a trĂšs chic Paris addressâbut she dreams of bringing meaning back into her life. When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her a lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers her sister a deal of her own: JosĂ©phine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the book will be published under Irisâs name. All is wellâthat is, until the book becomes the literary sensation of the season.
