Praise
“In Le Divorce and Le Mariage, Johnson polished her skill for sophisticated social comedy involving the cultural disconnections of Americans in France. Here, she perfects it in a deliciously entertaining story of a group of people drawn together—and divided by—the sharply different laws of succession in France and Britain… Johnson’s dexterity with plot builds astounding but credible complications, and she is adept at rendering a kind of fugal counterpoint in which each character misunderstands what each of the others thinks. Because love and money are never far apart in Johnson’s oeuvre, four affairs take place, with mixed results. Johnson is more droll than Henry James, to whom she’s been compared, and she’s as witty as a modern-day Voltaire. Vraiment, L’Affaire, c’est irresistible!”—Publishers Weekly
“Like the wildly successful Le Divorce and Le Mariage, Johnson’s latest novel explores the strange alchemy that occurs when American and European social mores collide… Johnson’s novel is exactly the kind of intricate, bittersweet comedy of manners her many fans have come to expect.”—Booklist
“Immensely amusing… devilishly on target.”—The New York Times Book Review
“An international confection in which each flavor remains distinct, the comedy high, the suspense sharp.” —Los Angeles Times
“Full of tip-top invention [and] lightness of touch that has nearly disappeared from literary fiction, comic or otherwise… a pleasure.”—The Atlantic
“An engaging story of Americans abroad and the cultural mayhem that follows in their wake. Johnson’s trademark ability to deliver insightful observations on cultural stereotypes makes the novel delightfully entertaining. This fresh and sophisticated satire brings each character’s motivations and prejudices sharply into focus, making the reader aware that perhaps we are all more alike than we care to think.”—Joni Rendon, BookPage
