"Originally published as Le Consentement in France in 2020 by Editions Grasset & Fasquelle."

"Awkward, reclusive, and already smitten with the written word, thirteen-year-old Vanessa meets G. at a dinner party boasting some of France's biggest authors. G., a critically acclaimed writer, is a romantic with a brilliant mind. The attraction is immediate, and mutual. G. is fifty years old. This is not a love story. Thirty years later, Vanessa looks to reassess her past with the man who shaped the arc of her adolescence. Having kept G.'s dark secrets for decades, she is now determined to have the last word. 'Consent' is at once a scathing testimony against the culture of complicity, and intimate reflection on the toll of trauma, and a beautifully rendered journey toward healing." --Back cover.
