Narrated by:
A marriage memoir from the bestselling author of French Children Don't Throw Food
On the eve of her fiftieth birthday, Pamela Druckerman is stuck. She moved to Paris in her thirties, married a dashing fellow journalist and became a celebrated author. Now her husband churns out a book a year, her adolescent children are more French than American, and she’s somehow become her family’s head of purchasing and quality control.
Feeling overlooked – and tempted by an unexpected offer by a man from her past – Druckerman decides to experiment with the famously flexible French approach to monogamy. Her fiftieth-birthday gift to herself? One secret afternoon with ‘the banker’.
What follows is more than she bargained for. Is this radical self-care or relationship suicide? Have honesty-obsessed Americans got marriage all wrong? And can an American in Paris ever truly become French?
The Monogamy Prize is a disarmingly personal, wickedly funny exploration of desire, fidelity and the rules of modern marriage.
