This modern tale explores the themes of friendship, love, honesty and creativity in the setting of two families in a cathedral city. Gerard Woodward’s sensitive prose reveals gradually the shifting dynamics in the marriage of Arnold and Polly that result from Arnold’s brief, but intense, affair with Polly’s friend, Vera. It makes for captivating reading as Arnold attempts to keep this hidden from Polly while dissuading Vera and her husband, Angus, from revealing the truth. Intertwined with this is Arnold’s failure to complete a second collection of poetry after his initial, well-received collection many years earlier, a failure that is exacerbated by a request to Polly from Martin Guerre to publish his poems which Arnold has read and initially rejected, causing Martin to mount a protest outside Polly’s paper making and publishing business. How these dilemmas play out make for a profound re-evaluation of all their lives and Arnold and Polly’s marriage aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This is the story of two married couples and an affair. The Paper Lovers by Gerard Woodward opens with a man who suddenly develops a crush on one of his wife's friends. As his affections deepen, he becomes aware that she too has feelings for him. Soon they transgress. But what does this mean? Is it love? Will they be caught?The second part of the story is about the crisis of identity that comes with betrayal. If you are no longer faithful to yourself, to your spouse or to your God, who are you now? If you have been deceived, diminished, your world destroyed without your knowledge, who are you now? And in each case: how might you live on, who might you become?
