Women's Fiction
"All happy families resemble one another, each unhappy
family is unhappy in its own way.” —Leo TolstoyAs a writer,
Celia Bayley's insights into the ways of the human heart
made her famous. And why not? She had married a handsome war
hero and produced three successful children. Yet, as her
family gathers for her funeral, the diaries and notebooks
and letters she left behind paint a very different picture,
one that shocks those who loved her and will force them to
confront the difficult conflicts in their own lives. A life
torn by secrets is revealed. The husband she adored had
deceived her early in their marriage and broken her heart,
though they persevered as a family. Then, years later while
on a trip with friends, she meets a man for whom she feels a
passion she never believed possible. In one brief moment,
her whole life is turned inside out. Utterly compelling and
beautifully written, The Affair makes vividly real the
agonizing choice one woman must make. Powerful and moving,
the novel is about marriage, families, and the definition of
happiness.
