Enough about love

Description

La planète connut cette année-là son automne le plus chaud depuis cinq siècles. Mais de la clémence providentielle du climat, qui joua peut-être son rôle, il ne sera plus question. Ce récit couvre l'espace de trois mois et même un peu plus. Que celle - ou celui - qui ne veut pas - ou plus - entendre parler d'amour repose ce livre. Anna et Louise ne se connaissent pas. Elles sont mariées, mères, heureuses. Presque le même jour, Anna va rencontrer Yves, Louise croiser la route de Thomas. À quarante ans, la foudre peut encore tomber et le destin encore s'écrire, mais à quel prix ? Hervé Le Tellier, en horloger délicat, trace la parabole de leurs trajectoires.

Description

Any man--or woman--who wants to hear nothing--or no more--about love should put this book down. Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they don't know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Anna's analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their forties and long-married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.
