Sarah Huxley has moved from London to Paris- only to find a lonely life of corporate drudgery and disappointment-a far cry from her romantic expectations of the city. She collides with Ping Loh- a young woman working as an au pair to a wealthy family of Hong Kong expats- and the two bond over their shared struggle with the French tongue. In museums and markets- over text messages and translation apps- Ping and Sarah slowly begin to learn each other's languages- communicating in a rich and ever-shifting blend of English- French- and Cantonese. As their friendship blooms- so does their private dialect-a personal linguistic patchwork- a shared secret just for them. But when their feelings for each other start to deepen- they discover that the simplest words to translate can be the hardest words to say. Award-winning graphic novelist James Albon (The Delicacy) presents a dazzling love story about cross-cultural connection- the bewildering sensation of feeling one's brain rewrite itself- and the intoxicating rush of the foreign becoming familiar.
