[Joséphine 01] • Les Yeux Jaunes Des Crocodiles

**_Le Divorce_ meets _The Elegance of the Hedgehog_ in this hilariously

entertaining mega-bestseller from France**

When her chronically unemployed husband runs off to start a crocodile farm in

Kenya with his mistress, Joséphine Cortès is left in an unhappy state of

affairs. The mother of two—confident, beautiful teenage Hortense and shy,

babyish Zoé—is forced to maintain a stable family life while making ends meet

on her meager salary as a medieval history scholar. Meanwhile, Joséphine’s

charismatic sister Iris seems to have it all—a wealthy husband, gorgeous

looks, and a très chic Paris address—but she dreams of bringing meaning back

into her life. When Iris charms a famous publisher into offering her a

lucrative deal for a twelfth-century romance, she offers her sister a deal of

her own: Joséphine will write the novel and pocket all the proceeds, but the

book will be published under Iris’s name. All is well—that is, until the book

becomes the literary sensation of the season.
