About this product
Product Information
Diane Johnson returns with another expatriate comedy of manners in this tale of a young dot-com executive from California who sets off for Europe to find culture, her roots, and maybe a cause to devote her considerable fortune to. When Amy checks into one of the finest small hotels in the French Alps - a hotel noted for skiing and for cooking lessons - she encounters a memorable cast of Euro trash aristocrats and ski enthusiasts. She has no plans to fall in love. But on the first afternoon, she is nearly swept away by an avalanche. Johnson's unerring ear for the cadences of the two cultures, her wit, and her shrewd insight into contemporary manners make her latest work a treat for fans of transatlantic relations. "If one were to cross Jane Austen and Henry James, the result would be Diane Johnson." (San Francisco Chronicle)

Reviews
"In Le Divorce and Le Mariage , Johnson polished her skill for sophisticated social comedy involving the cultural disconnections of Americans in France. Here, she perfects it in a deliciously entertaining story of a group of people drawn together--and divided by--the sharply different laws of succession in France and Britain... Johnson's dexterity with plot builds astounding but credible complications, and she is adept at rendering a kind of fugal counterpoint in which each character misunderstands what each of the others thinks. Because love and money are never far apart in Johnson's oeuvre, four affairs take place, with mixed results. Johnson is more droll than Henry James, to whom she's been compared, and she's as witty as a modern-day Voltaire. Vraiment, L'Affaire , c'est irresistible!"-- Publishers Weekly "Like the wildly successful Le Divorce and Le Mariage , Johnson's latest novel explores the strange alchemy that occurs when American and European social mores collide... Johnson's novel is exactly the kind of intricate, bittersweet comedy of manners her many fans have come to expect."-- Booklist "Immensely amusing... devilishly on target."-- The New York Times Book Review "An international confection in which each flavor remains distinct, the comedy high, the suspense sharp." -- Los Angeles Times "Full of tip-top invention [and] lightness of touch that has nearly disappeared from literary fiction, comic or otherwise... a pleasure."-- The Atlantic "An engaging story of Americans abroad and the cultural mayhem that follows in their wake. Johnson's trademark ability to deliver insightful observations on cultural stereotypes makes the novel delightfully entertaining. This fresh and sophisticated satire brings each character's motivations and prejudices sharply into focus, making the reader aware that perhaps we are all more alike than we care to think."-- Joni Rendon, BookPage
