Summary

The repercussions of an illicit affair unfold in this short story by bestselling author Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Dear stranger…

A desperate young woman in Southern California sits down to write a letter to a man she’s never met - a choice that will forever change both their lives.

My heart goes out to you, David. Even though I do not know you…

The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here.

Told entirely through the letters of two comforting strangers and those of two illicit lovers, Evidence of the Affair explores the complex nature of the heart. And ultimately, for one woman, how liberating it can be when it’s broken.

Absolutely loved this.

Have just come across this author and am loving her style. Decided to purchase this short story as at 99p, it didn't out price itself like so many others do for such a short listening time. I thoroughly enjoyed the premis and am looking at another one of her novels.

Wish it was longer

Everything this author writes is pure gold. Such a twist to the story. Wish the story was longer and more detailed it had a lot of potential.

Great concept, fantastic performances

Any review of the story would be likely to spoil the plot line so I will just say: listen to this short story. It’s the best bit of audible entertainment I’ve listened to in a long time. Excellent performances to go with what feels like a very real story. Loved the characters, and so wanted to know more at the end. Exquisite.

Any chance of a sequel?

It left me wanting more. The letter format enhanced the intimacy, laying bare the characters innermost feelings. It left me craving more.

Enjoyable short story

I enjoyed this book and the performances. It is written in a slightly quirky style in that it is based solely on reading letters between the four characters and the story unfolds as these letters are revealed. Overall, I enjoyed the story and although the use of letters to deliver the story was initially a bit annoying i soon got used to it.

I also liked that it was a brief story rather than a long drawn-out saga.
