Description
A dinner party begins like any other—until a mysterious guest arrives and quietly turns the evening into a psychological trap. As conversation sharpens and small performances start to crack, the host and his circle are forced to question what they truly want, what they’ve been hiding, and how easily “polite” society can become a stage for deception. With darkly comic tension and incisive social satire, this novel explores identity, the stories people tell to stay in control, and the fragile agreements that hold relationships together. Grégoire Bouillier’s sleek, unsettling style makes every exchange feel charged, drawing readers toward a final understanding that reframes the entire gathering.
