La vie secrète des écrivains

Synopsis of La vie secrète des écrivains

In 1999, after publishing three cult novels, the famous writer Nathan Fawles announces that he is giving up writing and retiring to Beaumont, a wild and sublime island off the Mediterranean coast. In the fall of 2018, Fawles has not given a single interview in twenty years. While his novels continue to captivate readers, Mathilde Monney, a young Swiss journalist, arrives on the island, determined to uncover his secret. On the same day, the body of a woman is discovered on a beach and the island is sealed off by the authorities. A dangerous face-off then begins between Mathilde and Nathan, in which hidden truths and assumed lies clash, and in which love and fear brush against each other.
