Description
Somers's wit is as cool, caustic, and dry as liquid nitrogen TONY TULATHIMUTTE
Hilarious BRANDON TAYLOR
Compulsively readable JULIA MAY JONAS
Two parents. Happily married. Just not to each other.
When Cora meets Sam at a baby group in their small town, the chemistry between them is instant and undeniable. But both are happily married, and neither is the type to cheat. So as their lives intertwine and the romantic tension between them heightens, Cora turns to her imagination: in her head, she and Sam pursue their feelings; in reality, they resist.
Yet as the fantasy affair grows ever more intoxicating, it can't help but cast Cora's everyday life - the mushroom problem in the bathroom, her daughter's new fascination with the afterlife, her husband's obsession with podcasts about the history of rope - in a new light. And when the boundaries grow increasingly blurred, she must decide what truly matters.
Razor-sharp, exhilaratingly honest, and salted with an irresistible acerbic wit, The Ten Year Affair explores family life, fidelity, and the roads not taken, ultimately asking: do we really want our fantasies to come true?
