Sam, an American student, meets a woman in a bookshop. Isabelle is enigmatic, beautiful, older and, unlike Sam, experienced in love's many contradictions. Sam is instantly smitten - but wary of the wedding ring on her finger. \n What begins as a regular arrangement in Isabelle’s tiny Parisian apartment transforms into a true affair of the heart, and one which lasts for decades to come.\n Isabelle in the Afternoon is a novel that questions what we seek, what we find, what we settle for - and shows how love, when not lived day in, day out, can become the passion of a lifetime.\nPraise for Douglas Kennedy\n‘The absolute master of love stories with heart-stopping twists’ THE TIMES\n‘Kennedy is skilled at zigzag plotting, blending domestic twists with turns created by global\n affairs’ OBSERVER","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51374502838560,"sku":"9780099585237","price":8.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780099585237.jpg?v=1780787415","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/isabelle-in-the-afternoon-douglas-kennedy-9780099585237","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
