Scaffolding by Lauren Elkin
Scaffolding is a story of Paris, desire, love, psychoanalysis, and the turbulent affairs of two couples across time.
This “smart and steamy” novel explores the way our homes collect and hold our memories and our stories, about the bonds we create and the difficulty of ever fully severing them, about the ways all the people we’ve loved live on in us.
It’s “a novel of ideas” and a “beguiling puzzle—and a deep intellectual dive.”
If you liked The Safekeep (Yael van der Wouden) or Simple Passion (Annie Ernaux) then, this one is for you.
