An impossible-to-put-down DEBUT novel about a wife and mother whose life looks perfect from the outside but who is falling apart inside. Anna, an American in her late 30s, lives with her Swiss husband, Bruno and their three young children in a postcard-perfect suburb of Zurich. Though she leads a comfortable life, Anna is adrift and increasingly unable to connect with the emotionally unavailable Bruno or even with her own thoughts and feelings. She tries to rouse herself with new experiences - and a series of sexual affairs she enters with an ease that surprises even her.
