The Affair

By: Colette Freedman

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

After 18 years of marriage, Kathy Walker has settled into a pattern of comfortable routines-ferrying her two teenagers between soccer practice and piano lessons, running a film production business with her husband, Robert, and taking care of the beautiful Boston home they share. Then one day, Kathy discovers a suspicious number on her husband's phone. Six years before, Kathy accused Robert of infidelity - a charge he vehemently denied - and almost destroyed their marriage in the process.

Now Kathy must decide whether to follow her suspicions at the risk of losing everything, or trust the man with whom she's entwined her past, present, and future. As she grapples with that choice, she is confronted with surprising truths not just about her relationship, but about her friends, family, and her own motivations.

Skillfully crafted and deeply insightful, The Affair sensitively explores the complexities of love and the challenge of ever knowing another person fully, even as we endeavor to understand our own deepest longings.

Groundhog Day

What a collection of self centered unattractive characters participating in a Groundhog Day word for word repetition times three of a very ordinary and corny domestic soap opera. I usually get suggestions for mysteries and somehow this showed up in my list of must reads - obviously an AI mistake

Good

Really good book,
Loved the pov of wife, husband, and mistress. Wish it was narrated with about male voice to

This story does not disappoint!

I loved the way the main characters’ personalities slowly unfolded as we learned more about them. The complexities of cheating in a marriage were built up to the final confrontation. It was real, gritty and authentically the story of two people who put everything else in front of nurturing their marriage.

Hard to breathe sometimes

Having gone through something like this story made it sometimes hard to listen to It did make me go over stuff and think things over. I am not sure I will ever be happy about the decisions I took at the time but I have to live with those and take them as an opportunity to learn and grow. Listening to stories like this one does help widen the perspective

Excellent

This book is very raw, real and so true. I hope the second book comes out in audio too!!! It encompasses all 3 sides of an affair so you truly understand each persons point of view. Really eye opening!! Definitely worth a credit!!
