Description

From the internationally best-selling author of Sarah’s Key Tatiana de Rosnay comes an irreverent yet heartfelt collection of short stories that examines our most intimate and forbidden desires

Late nights at the office… Hotel rooms and secret rendezvous… Lingering perfume… Sizzling texts…

What takes place in Paris when husbands and wives tangle with infidelity?

In this compulsively readable collection, Tatiana de Rosnay paints a portrait of forbidden loves in many shades – sometimes tragic, sometimes humorous, sometimes heartfelt, always with a dry wit and unflinching authenticity.

A PARIS AFFAIR will take you on a vacation overseas, into the hidden lives of husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, where illicit desire wars with duty, and where a French take on romance will surprise you every time.

The stories are told from both the side of the spouse who is being cheated on and the cheater themselves. The problem is that it is overall a novel of the emotional toll taken on relationships when an affair happens, only the writing is very cold and uninviting. There is little to no connection to the characters and if anything, these appear to be essays to support the growing belief that infidelity is a natural state and that being faithful in a relationship is the what is wrong.

The cheaters actually are angry at times with their spouses for being so boring and for now realizing what is happening.

That somehow, the spouse believing in them and their marriage, is neglecting them with their faith. It is a sad and selfish representation of a married relationship.

Perhaps this has something to do with the setting and perhaps in Paris, France infidelity is not only expected but is a time honored tradition as well.

Each story is introduced with a quote from French authors:

● “There are good marriages, but there are no delicious ones.”
Francois De La Rochefoucauld

● “Unable to suppress love,
the Church wanted to at least disinfect it, so it created marriage.”
Charles Baudelaire, My Heart Laid Bare

Tatiana de Rosnay portrays the hardships and fails of a marriage.

The emotional roller coaster that the devoted wives go through when they find out about their husbands’ affairs.

This book shows readers how common and widespread the cheating scheme was and how it affects all of those involved.

There were marriages with children and without children were the men and women were both cheating.

A Paris Affair made us wonder why the men or women who cheated even married their spouses in the first place.

I loved how one man is having an affair and he so carefully writes a letter to his lover.

A letter that cancels their affair. Then a disaster occurs and this brings him with the haunting conclusion that he needs to come clean with his wife.

The ending of its one affair will be priceless to readers. You’ll truly enjoy reading Tatiana de Rosnay’s brilliant fiction portraying lovers and the realistic side of their affairs.

Human struggles and emotions so perfectly brought onto the pages for readers’ entertainment.

Overall, it is highly recommend A Paris Affair to readers world wide.
