The breakdown of Valerie Trierweiler's relationship with French President Francois Hollande was spread mercilessly across the front pages. News of Hollande's infidelity first broke in January 2014, when Closer magazine published photographs allegedly proving a secret affair between him and actress Julie Gayet. Trierweiler learnt of the affair through the press, just like everyone else. First published in France in September 2014, it promptly became the fastest selling book in French history. Trierweiler's memoir proved incendiary, sending shockwaves through the French establishment for its revelations about the President's politics and personal life. Thank You for This Moment is the unapologetic and unadulterated account of Trierweiler's years with the President. Told with shattering clarity, it displays a voice that refuses to be silenced for political expediency.
