Chris Skinner is struggling to recover from a lost love affair: an experience that has altered him. Previously happy enough to labour alongside his older brother Peter in their family restaurant, he briefly found new perspective on life and love in the form of the inimitable French beauty, Am lie B noit, who happened into his bistro one day and later into his bed. Am lie is passionate and artistic, if fickle and flawed in her own appealing way. They shared a love of real food and great sex. Then she left him. Entrusted with the care of their baby daughter, Am lie Christina, Chris embarks on a journey that takes him from London to Paris, via his childhood in the Midlands, to make sense of the ties that bind him: family unity, friendships and obsessive love.
