Adele

Product Information

While this is an interesting vignette of a nymphomaniac being her sex addicted self, it's not engaging or giving enough background or even an interconnected plot. She’s taking charge now, she’s treating them, and after a glass of Saint-Estèphe, in the woodsmoke-scented air, she has the feeling that they love her and are forever in her debt.

I was a little hesitant with this one only because I don't really enjoy erotica or tons of gratuitous sex scenes in my books and obviously with the main character being a sex addict I thought that maybe I was venturing out of my comfort zone too much. I imagine some readers will be disappointed with the ending but for me it was nothing short of sublime, genius storytelling, leaving me raw with emotion. She finds she has two choices: hide away behind the school runs and home baking or have amazing sex with an inappropriate stranger.It’s highly dysfunctional family, we get a glimpse yet of her parents and relationships with Rachard's family as well, and I think Slimani rather managed to render Adele’s inner life pretty well. The author, who is 43, first won a following through her Christian parenting blog, Momastery – now a thriving online community. Dans cette fiction, elle fait le portrait d'une journaliste parisienne , Adèle, qui trompe son mari le plus souvent possible dès que l'occasion se présente. But the author sounds her voice loudly in this book, and her sense of self is captured throughout the pages.

Both books are very good at showing that there can be a kind of gleeful pleasure in overcoming your fears by living them out, losing the things you are most desperate to hold on to. Adèle hat alles: den vorzeigbaren Arzt-Ehemann und niedlich-Sohn, den Job bei der Tageszeitung, die schicke Wohnung in Paris. She hires hotel rooms, drags them into alleyways, drops to her knees in the cloakrooms of dinner parties. Because her life requires so many lies, it has to be carefully organized—an exhausting activity that occupies her entire brain, that gnaws at her.He feels trapped inside a routine and wants to escape, but he also believes in saving his marriage, and following his marriage counselor, they are trying to revive their happiest memories, and that is when they decide to go to an Adele concert in Rome.

She admits how much she depends upon being a mother and a wife to give her life the gleam of respectability that she needs for herself. Through her unshakable belief in imagination, poetry, music, and community, she transforms trauma into survival. A quick read but an exhilarating one written in pared back prose: transgressive, subversive, likely to divide readers, and yes, enigmatic and provocative rather than transparent. Also marriage is shown partly as a trap, because what can a woman, who doesn't even have her drivers license and who is mentally unstable, really do besides keeping up her appearances?Since she was a teenager, Adèle has perceived sex as a means to boost her self-worth, and now - being unhappy with her life and her decisions, but feeling unable to make changes - she obsessively seeks diversion in sex, and we are talking about the kind where she endlessly stares at ceilings and at walls, detecting cracks and signs of water damage while contemplating what she is expected to do, so it's not like she is enjoying herself.
