{"product_id":"isabelle-in-the-afternoon","title":"Isabelle in the Afternoon","description":"'A touching exploration of passion untested by domesticity' Mail on Sunday\n\nBefore Isabelle I knew nothing of sex.\nBefore Isabelle I knew nothing of freedom.\nBefore Isabelle I knew nothing of life.\n\nParis in the early Seventies. Sam, an American student, meets a woman in a bookshop. Isabelle is enigmatic, beautiful, older and, unlike Sam, experienced in love's many contradictions. Sam is instantly smitten - but wary of the wedding ring on her finger.\n\nWhat begins as a regular arrangement in Isabelle’s tiny Parisian apartment transforms into a true affair of the heart, and one which lasts for decades to come.\n\nIsabelle in the Afternoon is a novel that questions what we seek, what we find, what we settle for - and shows how love, when not lived day in, day out, can become the passion of a lifetime.\n\nPraise for Douglas Kennedy\n\n‘The absolute master of love stories with heart-stopping twists’ THE TIMES\n\n‘Kennedy is skilled at zigzag plotting, blending domestic twists with turns created by global\naffairs’ OBSERVER\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0099585235\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0099585235.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kennedy, Douglas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\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: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
