4: 'Bonjour Tristesse'

Episode 4 of 10

Meg Mason's darkly hilarious and breathtakingly tender novel on the highs and lows of modern love. Today: at her sister's wedding, Martha is confused by her feelings for Patrick.

Hailed as 'Patrick Melrose meets Fleabag', Meg Mason's darkly humorous and heartbreakingly tender novel is one of the most talked-about novels of 2021.

Martha Friel is clever and beautiful, a woman who has been loved every day of her adult life by one man, her husband Patrick. So why is Martha - on the edge of 40 - friendless, practically jobless and broken? And why did Patrick decide to leave?

Now Martha, with the help of her devoted, wise-cracking sister and dysfunctional, bohemian parents, has one last chance to find out whether she can write a better ending for herself.

Today: Martha returns from Paris for her sister's wedding, and is confused by her feelings for Patrick...
