An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood.

"Maintenant que la génération des baby boomers et celles qui l'ont suivie peuvent avoir autant de relations sexuelles qu'elles le veulent, elles semblent en avoir perdu l'envie..." Convaincue, après avoir suivi des centaines de couples (hétérosexuels, homosexuels, avec ou sans enfants et de tous âges), qu'il n'y a pas de fatalité au déclin du désir amoureux, Esther Perel nous livre ici une analyse révolutionnaire de ce phénomène.

Un traité audacieux sur l'infidélité pour comprendre la complexité de chaque individu face au couple, à l'amour et au désir.
