This reprint is a study of the human mind and its inner working. It delves into the life of Allen Harris, a pillar of the community, a married lawyer who is asked to be president of a conservative university. But first he has to be vetted by the board of Directors. They think he is squeaky clean but it wasn’t really the case...Allen had engaged in a series of extramarital affairs...Will he pull off the deception and keep the sexcapades a secret... you will shake your head in disbelieve.
Mr. Adler has a way with words and his narration proves how he can evoke in us unexpected empathy for his character despise the behavior of infidelity. He paints this despicable man with shades of gray and sends him on a journey from current day reflection to intense and convoluted thoughts flashing back to past relationships. How deeply did he affect the women with whom he had affairs? Did time distort his old fear of exposure? Imagine flagrante delicto in living colour...Mr. Adler gives us a movie picture of the male libido with a partner poised and ready....definitely not a book for everyone.
I have mix feeling about this one, although nicely written and at times grabbed my attention I felt 3 affairs and what came about was too much to read...I contemplated dropping it many times. Definitely not my cup of tea, the story dabbles too much on sexual activities for my taste. One thing for sure you will know what goes through a man’s mind while cheating on his wife....Thank goodness not all men are like Allen....
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.… (més)
