Novels
Stories of desire, freedom, and human relationships
Charles Ballery's novels explore those moments when an encounter, an absence, or an unexpected feeling disrupts the balance of a life. His characters love, hesitate, make mistakes, and rebuild themselves.
A Sofa for Three
A story of desire, passion, jealousy and a three-way relationship.
Thomas and Claire appear to be a solid couple. However, their encounter with Angélique will awaken a new desire and challenge the boundaries of their relationship.
What could have been just an experiment gradually becomes a real three-way relationship, with its impulses, its rules, its complicity and its jealousies.
How far can you open up your relationship without risking losing it? And how do you find your place when love is no longer just between two people?
An Unfulfilled Desire
He thought he was suffering from desire. He was suffering most of all from the silence.
Two years after Marine's disappearance, Maxime is still trying to understand what broke inside him.
Desire, once inseparable from their relationship, has become an obsessive presence. Caught between memories, guilt, and new encounters, he searches for a way to move on without betraying the woman he loved.
But some silences never completely disappear. They simply wait for the moment to return.
Different, Toward the Same Horizon
Can two different beings learn to look in the same direction?
Adrien is an architect. Clara is a photographer. They meet in Paris, almost by chance, in front of a cinema on rue de Passy. Everything seems to separate them: their history, their upbringing, their way of loving and seeing the world.
Yet, something constantly draws them back to each other.
Through their awkwardness, desires and contradictions, they will discover that a relationship is not about becoming alike, but about gradually choosing the same horizon.
