Margot Luv’s whole life is one big secret. Daughter of an influential French politician and a famous theater actress who keep their romance under impenetrable secrecy, Margot feels invisible — living only as a shadow of real life. Consumed by the desire to destroy the lie that binds her, the girl decides to tell her story and meets a well-known journalist who puts her plan into action. But as seventeen-year-old Margot sinks into the adult world — so complex and incomprehensible to her — she realizes how one impulsive decision can unravel the fates of many people. Exposing the threads connecting private and public life, “The Story of Margot” — Sanae Lemuan’s masterful debut — and a New York Times editors’ pick — will reveal an elaborate deception, a crime, passion, and that razor-sharp line where truth and the vow to keep secrets balance.
