From the internationally best-selling author of SARAH'S KEY comes an irreverent yet heartfelt collection that examines our most intimate and forbidden desires
Late nights at the office... Hotel rooms and secret rendezvous... Lingering perfume... Sizzling texts...
What takes place in Paris when husbands and wives tangle with infidelity?
In this compulsively readable collection, Tatiana de Rosnay paints a portrait of forbidden loves in many shades - sometimes tragic, sometimes humorous, sometimes heartfelt, always with a dry wit and unflinching authenticity. A PARIS AFFAIR will take you on a vacation overseas, into the hidden lives of husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, where illicit desire wars with duty, and where a French take on romance will surprise you every time.

“De Rosnay’s stories demonstrate eleven ways to deceive and/or leave your lover. In this prolific French novelist’s first short-story collection, infidelity is a given, particularly for the male of the species. Retribution, however, is women’s work. Technology is the petard by which many straying spouses are hoisted…[in these] stylized sketches.”

Want a bit of sizzle? This new story collection from the author of the New York Times best-selling Sarah’s Key … and, most recently, The Other Story, is reputedly hot, hot, hot.
— Library Journal“The stories in de Rosnay’s collection have adultery as their theme…Spare and wry, often unfolding in the form of conversations, letters, or journal entries, de Rosnay’s stories don’t say much for marriage, but they do say a lot about the need to love and be loved.”
— Booklist“De Rosnay captures every faithful lover’s worst nightmare… Each story offers its own twist on the cheating trope.”
