Any man - or woman - who wants to hear nothing - or no more - about love should put this audiobook down. Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they don’t know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Anna’s analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their 40s and long-married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.

Two Parisian shrinks fall into a hot pit of emotional upheaval

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 11 octobre 2011

Achat vérifié

Two Parisian shrinks -- Anna, 40-something with a couple of kids and an eminent physician husband, and Thomas, 40-something but still single following the suicide of a young love -- are about to leave the cool realm of the psychoanalyst's chair and fall into a hot pit of emotional upheaval that shatters their happy lives. Anna falls for Yves, a celebrated and single writer, while Thomas falls for Louise, a human-rights lawyer with a couple of kids and an eminent scientist husband. In spare yet evocative prose, Le Tellier recounts the affairs from start to finish -- the early trysts, the introductions to the children, the cuckold's discoveries and civilized attempts to confront the other man. Le Tellier is an experimental writer, interested in finding new ways to tell stories, and I did not find these characters emotionally engaging. But while emotional engagement is necessary to make me passionate about a novel, skillful writing also draws me in, and Le Tellier is a skillful writer. The paired affairs begin similarly -- married women pursued by unmarried men -- but end quite differently, and while the reader who follows their trajectories through this book won't be thrilled as the pages pass, most will be satisfied when they reach the end.

Playful, Fun, French Love Story

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 14 juillet 2012

Achat vérifié

This is a book I continue to recommend. The novel is fast-reading, profound, moving, intriguing, amusing, and touching all at once. The comparison to Bob and Carol, Ted and Alice is a good one. Readers who admire originality, French lifestyle, creativity, and are open about love and sex will enjoy this novel. It is whimsical yet real at the same time. The four characters in the novel are all interesting and none stand out significantly over the others. The story shifts from four points of view (which I love) and each deepens the overall story of Love. There are parts of this book which are unforgettable, particularly the 40 or so reasons one character cites loving another character. Highly recommended for those who love life and want to read about others who also love life and choose to live life to the fullest. I am not a fan of the current dark, depressing, end of the world novels, so I appreciated the life-affirming quality of this novel. There is still much to admire and love about daily life in all its messy details. A great summer read

Affairs will happen

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 7 février 2011

Achat vérifié

This novel, set in Paris in the decade of the 2000's, is structured almost as a study of how marital stagnation and ennui can fuel a sudden risky, passionate response towards someone who unexpectedly appears in one's life with irresistible physical and intellectual presence - who represents a way out. The reader is drawn in by the series-of-snapshots construction of the book, requiring that a collection of recorded short scenes involving different pairings of characters - like brief acts in a play - be combined to form a finished novel.

The novel has a distinct upper middle-class vibe. The two leading characters are well-educated, highly refined, forty-something Anna, a psychiatrist, and Louise, a lawyer. Anna's husband is a noted surgeon and Louise's husband is a renowned scientist. Louise does not know Anna, but coincidentally it is Anna's psychoanalyst, Thomas, who has taken her breath away. In Anna's case, she has become totally infatuated by whimsical, lesser-known, writer, Yves.

The author captures so well the intoxication that overwhelms these connection-starved women. In a series of vignettes, the excitement, the simple, lusty pleasures, of the first few weeks of meeting are glimpsed. But there are sobering considerations when their thinking turns to the question of whether a new life with their lovers is possible. The past must be reassessed - is love truly gone. Can disrupting a family be justified? Can their lovers really meet their expectations, will they disappoint? Those considerations do have an impact in this story.

Two of the more poignant scenes are where the husbands first see or meet their rivals. Anna's husband secretly attends an address given by Yves, on, of all things, the meaning of "foreign," only to discover Anna in attendance in a front row seat. Louise's husband schedules a session with Thomas under a false name, which fools no one. The author also uses an inventive technique of splitting a few pages into columns to show simultaneous trains of thought on a particular matter.

The story is very compelling; Anna and Louise are sympathetically portrayed, though their shortcomings are not ignored. By design the story is presented in almost outline form - a definite "facts-only" motif. In that structure, much gets left out, such as any real feel for the husbands. But in relatively few brush strokes the author captures the emotional, irrational, unstoppable pull of desire once unleashed. The author's conclusion is hardly one that tragedy has occurred. It is more that desire is real and maybe for the health of the human psyche it must be fulfilled. There may be some broad social lessons there regarding monogamy and affairs.

Affairs To Remember

Commenté aux États-Unis 🇺🇸 le 3 mai 2011

Achat vérifié

Enough About Love is a quintessentially French novel about the vagaries and capriciousness of love. Two women - Anna and Louise - both beautiful, both married (with children) to successful and trustworthy men, uproot their lives thorough unexpected yet passionate affairs with two unusual men. Anna, married to another respected physician, falls under the spell of Yves, a writer. In the meantime, Anna's analyst, Thomas, has gotten into his own tryst with Louise, an attractive lawyer married to a much-renowned scientist named Romain.

With a structure borrowed from a game of Abkhazian dominoes - discussed briefly in one section of the book - the various characters (Anna and Louise, their husbands, and their lovers) find themselves interacting in all kinds of combinations. We see, for example, Louise with Thomas (her lover), followed by a chapter with Louise and Romain (her husband), followed by another chapter of Thomas and Romain...and so on.

There are a few chapters that stand out for their audacity and their elegance. In one of them, Yves (the author and lover of Anna) is conducting a public reading on the subject of "foreignness." In the audience is Stan (the husband) who feels like the ultimate foreigner as he puzzles why his wife would be attracted to this man and castigates himself for letting the magic slip away. The juxtaposition of these two men is displayed in a two-column "split screen", visually communicating the differences between them.

In another, Yves is signing copies of his book when a man who he presumes is Anna's husband enters the bookstore. He lectures Yves on one of the author's former books, stating, "...he also suspects she loves him because he embodies unpredictability, a sense of adventure she always longed for, but he exploits her dreams to draw her in. It's a woman thing, like Emma Bovary meeting her Rodolphe." He forces Yves to hold a mirror to himself. And, in a somewhat parallel story, Romain visits Thomas, the analyst, under an assumed name. Thomas quickly realizes to whom he's speaking and the dialogue between them becomes searingly unforgettable.

In yet a third vignette, Yves presents Anna with a book he wrote about her - Forty Memories of Anna Stein - bursting with intimacy and immediacy. As readers, we become compliant in the affair, being titillated with the passionate details.

And so, love in all its interactions is explored - married love, adulterous love, rejected love, mundane love, love that endures, love that dies out. There are many, many pithy lines and startling revelations from an author who is obviously confident and even playful in his craft.

As someone who married late in life, with an understanding of the fragility of relationships and the false euphoria of "love" flirtations, the cavalier attitude of the characters was sometimes unsettling to me. It is a testament to the power and mastery of this work that I placed my own value system aside and read on, enchanted, with no doubt in my mind that this was an intelligently-crafted, beautifully rendered work. In the end, it is a delicious read.
