Lauren Elkin is the author of "Scaffolding."

Lauren Elkin’s new novel, Scaffolding, follows two couples who live in the same apartment in Paris, but decades apart.

The novel explores love, desire and fidelity, and the couples share similar experiences at times, particularly when it comes to their professions as psychoanalysts and their involvement in the feminist movements.
