Seven years

Alexander is torn between two very different women. Sonia, his wife and business partner, is everything a man could want: intelligent, gorgeous, charming, and ambitious. But when the seven-year itch sets in, Alexander soon finds himself rekindling an affair with his college lover, Ivona. The young Polish woman who worked in a Catholic mission is the polar opposite of Sonia: dull, passive, taciturn, and plain. Despite having little in common with Ivona, Alexander is inexplicably drawn to her while despising himself for it. Lost between his highbrow marriage and his lowbrow affair, Alexander is stuck in a spiraling threesome.--From front jacket flap.

  • "Sonja ist schön und intelligent und lebt mit Alex. Eine vorbildliche Ehe, er müsste glücklich sein. Aber wann ist die Liebe schon einfach? Und wie funktioniert das Glück? Iwona wäre neben Sonja fast unsichtbar, sie ist spröde und grau. Aber Alex fühlt sich lebendig bei ihr - und weiss nicht, warum. Sie liebt ihn. Er trifft sie immer wieder, und als sie von ihm schwanger wird und das Kind kriegt, das Sonja sich wünscht, setzt er alles aufs Spiel. Peter Stamm erzählt so lakonisch und leidenschaftlich wie kein anderer von widerstreitenden Gefühlen und der Sehnsucht nach dem Leben. Sieben Jahre ist ein grosser Roman über die Zumutung des Glücks, geliebt zu werden."
  • "Alex et Sonja se connaissent depuis plus de vingt ans. Ils travaillent ensemble dans un cabinet d'architecture et forment un couple harmonieux. Tenace et ambitieuse, Sonja apparaît comme la compagne parfaite pour Alex. Mais quand ce dernier rencontre Iwona, une Polonaise qui travaille dans une librairie religieuse, il se sent étrangement attiré par elle.--[Memento]."

But when the seven-year itch sets in, their exhaustion at working long hours coupled with their failed attempts at starting a family get the best of them. Alex soon finds himself kindling an affair with his college lover, Ivona. The young Polish woman who worked in a Catholic mission is the polar opposite of Sonia: dull, passive, taciturn, and plain.
