Description
In this intensely personal diary, a celebrated French author chronicles a passionate and secret love affair with a married Russian diplomat. Living outside Paris in 1989, nearing fifty and divorced, she finds her life consumed by the anticipation of their encounters, stating, “his desire for me is the only thing I can be sure of.” Her writing, stripped bare of artifice, reveals a raw vulnerability as she navigates the consuming nature of desire and the profound sense of loss when her lover is absent. This unflinching account explores the intoxicating power of passion and the struggle to maintain one's identity amidst overwhelming longing.
