French prose writer, essayist, and playwright Hervé Le Tellier, the author of two dozen books, secured his place among writers of world renown after publishing the sensational novel “Anomaly” in 2020, which brought him the Prix Goncourt and was translated into 40 languages. “And Enough About Love”—despite the title—is a novel about love.
Tomá Le Gal is a psychotherapist. His patient, Anne, falls in love with the writer Yves at first sight—and is already getting ready to separate from her husband. Meanwhile, Tomá himself falls for Louise, who, too, is ready to leave her husband—a well-known scientist—for his sake. In both women’s marriages, things are mostly working out, and there are children. Mutual passion, clouded by guilt, and the search for oneself on the eve of turning forty force Anne and Louise to choose: keep the family or go to the beloved.
Hervé Le Tellier crafts the subtlest interplay of emotions, words, and actions, reminiscent of the mysterious “Abkhaz domino” he invented.
