Isabel arrives in Paris to find that her sister's French husband has just walked out, leaving her sister pregnant. While she finds herself seduced by gourmet food, antiques and older men, her sister's marriage disintegrates into wrangles over money in this brilliant comedy of manners.
Not since Edith Wharton penned her brilliant portraits of Americans abroad has a novelist so perfectly captured the possibilities and perils of succumbing to the allure of Paris.
