The much-awaited sequel to The First Day "The legend goes that when you are in your mother's womb, you know all about the mystery of creation, the origins of the world until the end of time. When you are born, a messenger flies over your cradle and puts a finger on your lips so that the secret of life will never escape. The finger erases your memory forever and leaves a mark, which all of us have above our upper lip. All of us, except me. The day I was born, the messenger forgot to come and see me, and I remember everything." From the top of Ethiopian plateaus to the frozen lakes of the Northern Ural, Marc Levy's gripping novel concludes the breathtaking epic started with The First Day. Love is the ultimate adventure, but it can be dangerous. "Marc Levy's latest novel, The First Night, takes the reader around the globe. Levy signs a second fantastic adventure novel [following The First Day], which combines an action-driven, fast-paced narrative with a love story between the two main characters." - Le Parisien "In The First Night, love is a dangerous, exhilarating adventure, which brings together science, fantasy, police intrigue, and journeys across the world in a narrative written by a great admirer of Jules Verne." - Télé 7 Jours
