  • "In Le Divorce, Diane Johnson delightfully recounts the adventures of two sisters from California who make a modern pilgrimage to the City of Light. Pregnant and abandoned by her French husband, Roxeanne Walker de Persand turns to her younger sister, Isabel, for support, while the powerful Persand family exerts subtle but firm control over her decision whether or not to divorce. Complicating matters is the disposition of a family heirloom, a painting in Roxy's possession that is suddenly discovered to be worth millions. In the midst of a variety of schemes, the stakes are suddenly raised by a crime of passion, disrupting everyone's motives and plans. Not since Edith Wharton penned her brilliant portraits of Americans abroad has an American novelist so perfectly captured the possibilities and perils of succumbing to the allure of Paris."@en

  • ""J'étais heureuse. Du sexe, du mystère, une idylle, la découverte de sujets instructifs, j'avais tout cela. J'espérais que le dénouement sans doute inévitable de cette liaison était encore loin. Il y avait toutes sortes de choses stimulantes : mes progrès en français, des lectures nouvelles, mes petites acquisitions culturelles grâce à Mrs. Pace, et même mon attachement récent à la petite Gennie ...""
