She was in her early thirties when she moved to Paris, married a dashing fellow journalist, and became a celebrated author. Yet now, it’s her husband who churns out a book a year and wears earplugs around the house. Her adolescent children are more French than American, and her Parisian neighbors haven’t gotten any more welcoming. Once a prolific writer, she has slipped in status to her family’s head of purchasing and quality control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTired of feeling unappreciated—and tempted by an unexpected offer from a man from her past—Druckerman decides to try on the famously flexible French approach to monogamy (“What is fidelity, really? Isn’t it to be true to yourself?”). She grants herself a one-off fiftieth birthday present: a secret afternoon with “the banker.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat ensues is more than she ever expected. Is this radical self-care or relationship suicide? Have honesty-obsessed Americans been approaching coupledom all wrong? Can an American in Paris ever truly become French?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Monogamy Prize\u003c\/i\u003e is a disarmingly intimate and deeply funny account of one woman’s passage and a bold exploration of the rules of modern marriage.","brand":"Penguin Press","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":49022658445539,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780593655368","price":198.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780593655368.jpg?v=1779931185","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/products\/9780593655368","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
