LONGLISTED FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD 2024
SHORLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD VIKING AWARD FOR FICTION 2024
'Perfect for the poolside or sitting outside a café with a pastis and olives' The Times
Part swashbuckling adventure on the high seas and part modern-day love story set in the heart of Paris, An Astronomer in Love is an enchanting tale of destiny and the power of love from bestselling author Antoine Laurain.
In 1760, Guillaume le Gentil, real-life astronomer to King Louis XV, sets out for the oceans of India to document the transit of Venus. The weather is turbulent, the seas are rough and his quest may be more complicated than initially thought.
250 years later, estate agent Xavier Lemercier chances upon Guillaume's telescope in a property he's sold. As he looks out across the rooftops of Paris, he discovers an intriguing woman with a zebra in her apartment.
Then the woman walks through the doors of his office, and hislife changes forever . . .
