Publisher Description

In this reverse love story set in Paris and London, which The Wall Street Journal hailed as “funny and soulful…immediately appealing,” a failed monogamist attempts to woo his wife back and to answer the question: Is it really possible to fall back in love with your spouse?

Despite the success of his first solo show in Paris and the support of his brilliant French wife and young daughter, thirty-four-year-old British artist Richard Haddon is too busy mourning the loss of his American mistress to a famous cutlery designer to appreciate his fortune.

But after Richard discovers that a painting he originally made for his wife, Anne—when they were first married and deeply in love—has sold, it shocks him back to reality and he resolves to reinvest wholeheartedly in his family life…just in time for his wife to learn the extent of his affair. Rudderless and remorseful, Richard embarks on a series of misguided attempts to win Anne back while focusing his creative energy on a provocative art piece to prove that he’s still the man she once loved.

Skillfully balancing biting wit with a deep emotional undercurrent, this “charming and engrossing portrait of one man’s midlife crisis” (Elle) creates the perfect picture of an imperfect family—and a heartfelt exploration of marriage, love, and fidelity.

Selective Recomendation

I enjoyed the book but have been divorced for almost 15 years. I suspect if a reader is newly divorced or separated the book could be painful to read because it seems so close to reality. The husband is clueless and remains that way through most of the storyline. It is interesting to read especially in light of the events unfolding in Iraq. I have never green a book five star rating but been so hesitant to recommend. However, I do recommend the book. It is well written.

A marriage goes up in flames & is resurrected from the ashes

An excellent read about an ugly subject: adultery & its impact on all those in its wake. Maum makes Richard a sympathetic character, nonetheless, and made me want things to work out with his wife.
