Synopsis
Here’s the perfect recipe for mischief: Take one sexually neglected woman and one dashing, romantic foreigner. Add a craving for adventure plus a few drops of heady desire . . . then stand back, because in Olivia Lichtenstein’s sparkling and sharply observed comedy of lust, longing, and marital unrest, this mix proves to be deliciously volatile.
Chloe Zhivago has it all: a successful career, two teenage children who still speak to her, a faithful best buddy, a Famous Friend from hell, and Greg, Chloe’s husband of seventeen years, a family-practice doctor who occupies his time writing letters to the parking commission.
And then it suddenly hits her. Is this all there is? When did wild weekends of passion become nights of chaste kisses and snoring to wake the dead? What happens when the kids leave the nest but the husband stays behind? Enter Ivan. Married but questing and quixotic, he proffers notes of seduction written in Russian and lures Chloe to the precipice of one glorious, fortuitous fling. Does she dare?
This wonderfully funny, sexy novel asks a vital question–how do you keep love alive in a marriage?–and answers it with poignancy and pure irresistible comedy.
