Marriages, both established and pending, are explored in this quirky novel. Clara and Serge are the established couple: a one-time actress and director. Anne-Sophie and Tim are the soon-to-be married couple: the French woman and the American.
Ah, yes, the conflict between the French and the Americans. By the way, Clara is also from the States.
Cultural conflict, secret crushes, cold feet, and a stolen manuscript are just part of this novel’s wackiness. The characters are interesting, and the subplots are bizarre. An enjoyable diversion.
