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
Juliette, a computer engineer, and Olivier, a journalist,
have two young children and the busy lives of a modern
Parisian couple. On a beautiful spring day, while sitting by
the river watching her children play, Juliette’s cell phone
rings. It is her husband. When Olivier confesses to having
an affair, Juliette’s world is shattered.
How do you survive betrayal? Can a couple ever be united
again? What lengths would you go to in order to save your
marriage? These are the questions that this novel, with
great intelligence, honesty, and humor, tries to answer. In
its acute depiction of intimacy, Couple Mechanics exposes
the system of forces at work in a marriage, the effects of
the inevitable ebb and flow of desire, and the difficulty of
being a man today.
