Presentation
Anna Lore is 43 years old when she meets Thomas Lenz, 56 and falls passionately in love. She has been living with Guillaume for over 20 years. They have a very close relationship, attracting the admiration of their friends and family. Anna still loves Guillaume deeply but her attraction to Thomas is irrepressible. She tries to resist but to no avail. Will she really end twenty years of happiness with Guillaume ? Destroy everything she has built to start anew, and take the risk of failure ? Then Guillaume leaves her, to chose alone, torn between the two men she loves.
Anne Serre's story tells the birth of a passion, from day to day, almost from hour to hour. With a deep understanding of her characters, she pieces together the fragments of love, as careful and feverish as an archaeologist of desire.
Amongst Anne Serre"s many books, Le Cheval blanc d’Uffington (Prix Charles Oulmont), Le narrateur and Un chapeau léopard (Prix de la Fondation del Duca, in 2008). All published at Mercure de France.
