About this listen

When a flock of crows invades their shared apartment block, farmer-turned-debt collector Ludovic and fashion designer Aurore speak for the first time. With nothing but the birds in common, the two are destined for separate lives, yet are drawn inexplicably together.

Though their story is set in Paris, the tale of Ludovic and Aurore is far from an idyllic romance. With one trapped in an unhappy marriage and the other lost in grief, the city of love has brought each of them only isolation and pain. As Aurore faces losing her business and Ludovic questions the ethics of his job, they begin a passionate affair. Love between such different people seems doomed to failure, but for these two unhappy souls trapped in ruthless worlds, perhaps loving one another is the greatest form of resistance.

From the award-winning author of Wild Dog, Lean on Me is explores the realities of unlikely love, and how connection and intimacy offer us an escape from all that is harsh and cold in our modern day lives.

Winner of the prestigious Prix Interallié, Lean on Me is both a touching love story and an insightful look at the alienating effect of contemporary urban life.

This book was long but well worth the journey. The characters are well developed, intelligent, and flawed. The story is about a widower who came from a farming family who now works as a debt collector. His neighbor is a fashion designer who's in a stale marriage and whose business is being threatened by her own partner. They are desperately lonely people who find each other and fit together more perfectly than they should.

Long but well written and narrated
