The President's Hat

About this book

'A master storyteller' Huffington Post

'A hymn to la vie Parisienne' Guardian

Dining alone in an elegant Parisian brasserie, accountant Daniel Mercier can hardly believe his eyes when President François Mitterrand sits down to eat at the table next to him. Once the presidential party has gone, Daniel discovers that Mitterrand's black felt hat has been left behind. After a few moments' soul-searching, Daniel decides to keep the hat as a souvenir of an extraordinary evening. It's a perfect fit, and as he leaves the restaurant Daniel begins to feel somehow . . . different.


Has Daniel unwittingly discovered the secret of supreme power? For two years the iconic item of headgear plays with the lives of the men and women who wear it, bringing them success that had previously eluded them. Shot through with a delicious, wicked sense of humour, The President's Hat is a vivid re-creation of 1980s Paris, and an enchanting exploration of life's possibilities.

Translated by Jane Aitken, Emily Boyce and Louise Rogers Lalaurie.
