Description
'Addictive' Stylist
'Sultry' Elle
'Shimmers with suspense' Daily Mail
'Sizzling' Esquire
Summer in Paris. Leah, bored of tedious dead-end jobs, is intrigued to spot a job advert posted by the famous author Michael Young: 'Writer Seeks Assistant'.
After an unconventional interview, Michael invites Leah to spend summer in the south of France with his family. But as she begins her work transcribing his diaries of his debauched youth in 1960s Soho, the lines of past and present, truth and deceit, begin to blur, and Leah has to question what it is that Michael really sees in her.
A novel that challenges us to both question what we see, and what others see in us.
'A devastatingly compelling new voice in literary fiction' Louise O'Neill

'A sultry, summery book . . . devastatingly witty, compulsively readable . . . like Sally Rooney meeting Martin Amis in Paris' -- Francine Toon, author of PINE
'Voyeur is a salty, sultry exploration of desire and aspiration. It fractures fragile masculinity and illuminates the traces of the past in the present. It is wry, funny and wild, yet warns us of the dangers of a singular narrative and shows us the importance of being the protagonist of your own story' -- Jessica Andrews, author of SALTWATER

I found the descriptions of the places really evocative and created a sense of colour and place that was engaging. The main narrative intrigue between the protagonists is interesting enough, and the ending cleverly solidifies the suggestion that men like Michael are monsters despite painting themselves as victims. Intriguing summer read.
