The Complaisant Lover by Graham Greene
English | 2018 | General Fiction | ePUB | 2.3 MB
A “delicious . . . champagne cocktail” of a stage comedy about a sporting British couple’s marital and extramarital propositions.
Victor Rhodes, a hearty and amiable dentist in North London, has what he thinks is a happy marriage. It’s stable, routine, and comfortably platonic. Five years and counting, his wife, Mary, feels the same way. That’s why she’s taken a secret lover their good friend, Clive Root, an antiquarian bookseller for whom relieving complaisant husbands of their duty is a pleasure.
But when Mary and Clive connive a rendezvous in Amsterdam, their getaway takes a surprising turn with a visit from Victor. What’s now at risk for Mary is more than a marriage to a man she genuinely loves but also a perfectly fulfilling affair with a man she truly desires. In this “sin-and-tonic work of art,” Mary isn’t about to give up either of them.
