The Affair- April Book Club Pick

Our book review of The Affair is here.  It is an extremely well-written account of an extra marital affair, told separately from the perspective of the husband, the wife and the mistress.  Got your attention, right?

From the publisher,

“The biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves.
After eighteen years of marriage, Kathy Walker has settled into a pattern of  comfortable routines—ferrying her two teenagers between soccer practice  and piano lessons, supporting her husband, Robert, in the running of  their film production business, and taking care of the beautiful Boston home they share. Then one day, Kathy discovers a suspicious number on  her husband’s phone. Six years before, Kathy accused Robert of  infidelity—a charge he vehemently denied—and almost destroyed their  marriage in the process.”

Book Giveaway- Giveaway is over!

To win a copy of The Affair, simply leave a comment here.  For additional entries:

    I just read your review of this book. The Affair sounds like a fantastic and unique story. It’s pretty unusual to get the point of view of each person ‘involved’ in an affair. I’m especially interested in the husband’s view point and wonder if he’ll try to justify his behavior. I’m also wondering what the mistress will say…how oes a person who is potentially breaking up a family feel? Is she at all guilty or shameful? I’m curious to see who I like and don’t like and hope it’s not as I expect or think it migh be.
    Oooo this may be a fun read!

    Thank you for another terrific book selection and giveaway!
