COUPLE MECHANICS by Nelly Alard

At once sexy and feminist, this is a story of a woman who decides to fight for her marriage after her husband confesses to an affair with a notable politician.

“Nelly Alard delves into the core of infidelity with wry observation and subtlety. Riveting, beautifully detailed, and totally addictive. You won't be able to put this down.” —Tatiana de Rosnay,
New York Times
best-selling author of
Sarah's Key

 

CLIMATES by André Maurois

First published in 1928, this magnificently written novel about a double conjugal failure is imbued with subtle yet profound psychological insights of a caliber that arguably rivals Tolstoy's.

“
Climates
is a delicious romantic bonbon that yanks the heartstrings.” —
Wall Street Journal
