Boulevard Beausejour

Mehr zum Buch

"Boulevard Beauséjour is a funny and touching novel with serious undertones set in Paris. A thirty-something New York couple carry a sadness within them when they move to France. Alice is the resident philosopher in an international Think Tank and Andy is unemployed. Former art critic Andy has left one problem behind in New York but brings two with him. His future is threatened as he is drawn back into the art world. Alice is unfailingly positive and supportive of her husband but is ultimately sorely tested. In the course of Boulevard Beauséjour, Alice and Andy meet, among others, a resourceful hairdresser, an eccentric landlady, a suave Parisian and an elegant Count. The arrival of Alice's parents adds complications and hilarity. Boulevard Beauséjour is a comic and sharply observed novel unafraid to illuminate a difficult issue while delighting in a flourishing romance between two people who believed such feelings were in their pasts."-- Provided by publisher
