We meet Arnault who was just released from prison after spending 23 years in for a crime he did not commit. He has no family or friends and no place to go, so he’s living on the streets and desperately searching for work.
Lucy meets Arnault when he rescues her from a mugging.
Overall, this one was not really for me, but I did like the following:
~ how Arnalut finally got the freedom he deserved, even if it took way too long
~ how Arnault would not accept handouts and was only interested in finding work, which I found admirable
~ how Arnault would help someone he didn’t even know if they were in distress
~ how Lucy was adamant about finding Arnalut to help him after he helped her
It was a quick read, so if any of the above interests you than give it a try.

Book blurb:
Lucy, a young lawyer, is on fast track to partnership in her firm. Arnault, a convicted felon, leaves prison after two decades through a piece of evidence in his favor. The two of them come together during a rescue operation at the centre of Paris, and then they go on with their separate lives.
Months later, their paths cross again at a camp for migrants on the edge of Paris.
