The Margot Affair

It is a house of cards that Margot-fueled by a longing to be seen and heard-decides to tumble. The summer of her seventeenth birthday, she meets the man who will set her plan in motion: a well-regarded journalist whose trust seems surprisingly easy to gain. But as Margot is drawn into an adult world she struggles to comprehend, she learns how one impulsive decision can threaten a family's love with ruin, shattering the lives of those around her in ways she could never have imagined.

Exposing the seams between private lives and public faces, The Margot Affair is a novel of deceit, desire, and transgression-and the exhilarating knife-edge upon which the danger of telling the truth outweighs the cost of keeping secrets.
