About
From the bestselling author of War of the Roses, now a major motion picture: The Roses, starring Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch.
The romance novel that sparked an unprecedented Hollywood bidding war-receiving $1.2million-the largest sum paid for an unpublished book at its time.
Ken Kramer and his wife, Maggie, appear to have a comfortable life and loving marriage. But their peaceful life is shattered when Ken is taken along on a business dinner and introduced to Maggie's major client, Eliot, and his wife, Carol-who happens to be Ken's old flame. Though Carol was once the love of his life and the object of his sexual obsession as a young man, the Carol he meets seems determined to not recognize him at the dinner table.
Baffled by her non-recognition, he learns that she has totally reinvented herself and snagged a rich husband who has no knowledge of her real early life. As Maggie and Eliot grow closer the love and sexual obsession between Ken and Carol rekindles-only for the plot to thicken as both couples embark on an African Safari with startling and tragic results.
