Discontented middle-aged doctor Alain Massoulier has received a life-changing letter - thirty-three years too late. Lost in the Paris postal system for decades, it offers a recording contract to Alain's old band The Holograms, which split up long ago. Now, overcome by nostalgia, Alain decides to track down his old bandmates - including the alluring singer he secretly loved. But in a world where everything and everyone has changed, where will his quest take him?
'Beautifully written, superbly plotted and with a brilliant twist at the end' - Daily Mail
'What makes French Rhapsody one of the must-reads of the moment is not just its off-the-wall humour, but its deep sense of melancholy. If it wasnt so funny, youd weep for the roads not taken' - Le Figaro
'The novel has Laurains signature charm, but with the added edge of greater engagement with contemporary France' - Sunday Times
'A tale of dashed dreams, lost love and rediscovered hope that is also an incisive state-of-the-nation snapshot' - The Lady
