"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

The Forgotten Waltz by Anne Enright
Genres: Fiction

Also by this author: The Gathering

 

Anne Enright won the Man Booker Prize in 2007 with her novel The Gathering. However, I came across “The Forgotten Waltz” first out of all her writings and I quite enjoyed it. I do like her writing and will continue reading some of her other books in the near future.
