Le Divorce [antikvár]

Néhány alsó lapéle kissé hullámos. Címlapján pecséttel.
Imagine the heroine of Henry James's The Portrait of a Lady sporting a stylish haircut, miniskirt, and sunglasses, and you have Isabel Walker, the irresistible heroine of Diane Johnson's incandescent novel. Le Divorce follows this smart, sexy American abroad as she arrives in Paris to visit her stepsister Roxy, a poet whose marriage into an aristocratic French family has assured her of a coveted place in Parisian society. But all is not as it should be in the Persand household: Roxy's husband has just left her for the Czechoslovakian wife of an American lawyer. Could „le divorce” be far behind? Here is the bestselling novel hailed by critics and readers alike – a delightful comedy of manners and morals, money, marriage, and murder, as wickedly funny as it is deeply insightful. As lingering as a French kiss, Le Divorce is Diane Johnson at her most sublime.
