Cécile Tlili
Just a Little Dinner
Translated from French by Katherine Gregor
FRANCE
ISBN: 978-1-0686934-2-7
In tired, hot Paris at the end of August, a group of friends, who’d rather still be at the sea, meet for a dinner in one couple’s apartment.
Taking us behind the shutters of the Sixth Arrondissement, with a cast of characters that both delight and repel, fractured relationships, manipulation, bad behaviour and desperation are all laid bare in this very contemporary take on a Parisian huis clos story.
What starts as just a little dinner ends up having monumental consequences for everyone.
