{"product_id":"the-ten-year-affair-a-novel","title":"The Ten Year Affair: A Novel","description":"“The best book about adultery since Madame Bovary.” —Tony Tulathimutte, author of Rejection\n\nA New Yorker, NPR, ELLE, and Esquire Best Book of the Year\n\nA hilariously acerbic sliding doors novel about a chance meeting between two young parents, both happily married (just not to each other) that sparks a will-they-won’t-they romance.\n\nWhen Cora meets Sam at a baby group in their small town, the chemistry between them is undeniable. Both are happily married young parents with two kids, and neither sees themselves as the type to engage in an affair. Yet their connection grows stronger, and as their lives continue to intertwine, the romantic tension between them becomes all-consuming—until their worlds unravel into two parallel timelines. In one, they pursue their feelings. In the other, they resist.\n\nAs reality splits, the everyday details of Cora’s life—her depressing marketing job, her daughter’s new fascination with the afterlife, her husband’s obsession with podcasts about the history of rope—gain fresh perspective. The intersecting and diverging timelines blur the boundaries of reality and fantasy, questioning what might have been and what truly matters.\n\nThe Ten Year Affair is a witty, emotionally-charged exploration of marriage, family life, and the roads not taken, that ultimately asks: do we really want our fantasies to come true?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 166808144X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.166808144X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Somers, Erin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
