SCAFFOLDING - LAUREN ELKIN GEBUNDEN

'The Susan Sontag of her generation' Deborah Levy  The story of two couples who live in the
same apartment in north-east Paris almost fifty years apart.   In 2019  Anna  a psychoanalyst 
is processing a recent miscarriage. Her husband  David  takes a job in London so she spends
days obsessing over renovating the kitchen while befriending a younger woman called Clémentine
who has moved into the building and is part of a radical feminist collective called les
colleuses.   Meanwhile  in 1972  Florence and Henry are redoing their kitchen. Florence is
finishing her degree in psychology while hoping to get pregnant. But Henry isn't sure he's
ready for fatherhood...  Both sets of couples face the challenges of marriage  fidelity  and
pregnancy. The characters and their ghosts bump into and weave around each other  not knowing
that they once all inhabited the same space.  A novel in the key of Éric Rohmer  Scaffolding is
about the bonds we create with people  and the difficulty of ever fully severing them  about
the ways that people we've known live on in us  and about the way that the homes we make hold
communal memories of the people who've lived in them and the stories that have been told there.
'Atmospheric and evocative  the prose elegant and poised' Observer
