This is a story about a friendship between a lonely foreign family man and a neglected mistress which you could guess turn to something more. He wasn't looking for an affair. Is it love? Pity? Compassion? I believe its every expat wives nightmare ...
This is my first novel by Tony Parsons and I'm happy to say its going to be the first of many. The book engaged me almost immediately which was a welcome alternative.
