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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHas Daniel unwittingly discovered the secret of supreme power? Over the course of the next 2 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. As it makes its way from head to head, the wearers find themselves acting with more confidence, decisiveness, authority and panache--just like the original wearer. Some, like Daniel, attribute their new luck to the hat itself, while some are unaware of its magical effects. All, however, find themselves changed by their time spent wearing the president's hat. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShot through with a delicious, wicked sense of humour, this delightfully quirky novel is a vivid re-creation of 1980s Paris, and an enchanting exploration of life's possibilities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAntoine Laurain\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of ten novels including \u003ci\u003eThe Red Notebook\u003c\/i\u003e (Indie Next, MIBA bestseller) and \u003ci\u003eThe President's Hat\u003c\/i\u003e (Waterstones Book Club, Indies Introduce).
