The Forgotten Waltz: a Novel Reprint edition
Anne Enright
2012 Winner of the Andrew Carnegie Award for Excellence in Literature
"This stunning novel by a Booker Prize winner . . . Offers up its brilliance by way of astonishingly effective storytelling."?Booklist, starred review
"A new, unapologetic kind of adultery novel. Narrated by the proverbial other woman?Gina Moynihan, a sharp, sexy, darkly funny thirtysomething IT worker?The Forgotten Waltz charts an extramarital affair from first encounter to arranged, settled, everyday domesticity. . . . This novel?s beauty lies in Enright?s spare, poetic, off-kilter prose?at once heartbreaking and subversively funny. It?s built of startling little surprises and one fresh sentence after another. Enright captures the heady eroticism of an extramarital affair and the incendiary egomania that accompanies secret passion: For all their utter ordinariness, Sean and Gina feel like the greatest lovers who've ever lived.??Elle
