Le Divorce Diane Johnson Vintage

Set in Paris, LE DIVORCE is an alluring and elegant comedy of love and divorce French-style. Isabel Walker, a young, not-so-innocent, American abroad, arrives in Paris to find that her sister\'s French husband (\'the frog prince\') has just walked out. While Isabel embarks on her own sentimental education - seduced by gourmet food, antiques, existentialism and an older man - her sister\'s marriage disintergrates into bitter Franco-American wrangles over money, titles and a mysterious painting. With a sharp tongue and an ironic eye for the foibles of the Parisian bourgeoisie, the French art world and American ex-patriots, Isabel is a collector of experience, even those she can\'t control. Comedy veers suddenly close to tragedy as passionate jealousy, self-interest and artistic intrigue interweave. Σελίδες: 320, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
