Synopsis

After eighteen years of marriage, Kathy Walker has settled into a pattern of comfortable routines—ferrying her two teenagers between soccer practice and piano lessons, running a film production business with her husband, Robert, and taking care of the beautiful Boston home they share. Then one day, Kathy discovers a suspicious number on her husband's phone. Six years before, Kathy accused Robert of infidelity—a charge he vehemently denied—and almost destroyed their marriage in the process.

Now Kathy must decide whether to follow her suspicions at the risk of losing everything, or trust the man with whom she's entwined her past, present, and future. As she grapples with that choice, she is confronted with surprising truths not just about her relationship, but about her friends, family, and her own motivations.

Skillfully crafted and deeply insightful, The Affair sensitively explores the complexities of love and the challenge of ever knowing another person fully, even as we endeavor to understand our own deepest longings.

I honestly could not tell you how I ended up reading this book. I think it was one of those "if you liked this, try this" sort of bad recommendation algorithms on some website or another.

Goodreads review by Barbara on March 24, 2013

A story of an affair from the voices of the wife, husband, and the mistress. It covers 6 days from each prospective. Interesting idea. In those 6 days, the reader learns how a marriage can fall apart through miscommunication, stressful work, and the tediousness of domestic life. Freedman makes each......more

Goodreads review by * Sara Johns* on January 02, 2013

This was an interesting story that sucked me in from the beginning, even though the characters are much older than those in my normal read. As its name states, it’s about an alleged affair. The story is uniquely told in three points of view giving the perspective of the wife, the husband, and the al......more
