~ Trade Paperback Adèle appears to have the perfect life: A respected journalist, she lives in a flawless Parisian apartment with her surgeon husband and their young son, but benea th the veneer of "having it all", she is bored and consumed by an insatiable need for sex, whatever the cost. An erotic and daring story, with electrically clear writing, Adèle will captivate readers with its exploration of addiction, sexuality, and one woman’s quest to feel alive. "Fascinating, Adèle has glanced at the covenant of modern womanhood (the idea that you can have it all or should at least die trying) and detonated it." -- The New York Times Book Review Show more
