About this audiobook
From the internationally best-selling author of SARAH'S KEY comes an irreverent yet heartfelt collection 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.

Reviews for A Paris Affair

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you like your love stories sophisticated, cynical & more often funny than not - plus set in Paris, then this thin little volume is the book for you.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A Paris Affair was an OK book. I enjoyed that the writing style for each story was a little different, and I liked that the ending of each story was not predictable. I did have one problem with the collection of stories. I expected something a little more exciting, husbands cheating, wives cheating, different affairs. That is not what I got. Instead it was more or less the same story: a married man with children, having affairs. It was always married men with children.For this reason, I don't recommend reading all the stories back to back. Perhaps read one story in between reading other books. Reading them all back to back is too depressing because of the fact that it is always the husband cheating, and it isn't done in a way that makes the cheaters sympathetic; they are flat characters. However the writing styles are good, hence the 3 stars.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Affairs, affairs, affairs. Beautiful couples with young children and affairs, mostly. All set in Paris, with a little revenge and a pinch of humour thrown in for spice. For some reason, I liked the repetition of this theme in every story and the almost lighthearted tone and the acceptance of the way things are.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Eleven stories about infidelity, most told from the wronged wife point of view. Some wit, some irony, a lot of "getting even." Toward the end of the book it became as tedious as a stale affair. Gave it two stars.Library book.
