Another good quick read by Erich Segal. I will be reading more from this author for sure. The author shows the husband Bob and the wife Sheila as having the perfect marriage with two daughters. That is, until Bob receives a call from his friend in France informing him of the death of a woman he had an affair with. She had his son, Jean-Claude and had not told the son who the father was. With no family for him to go to, the boy would end up an orphan and his friend asked if he would take the boy. Bob eventually agrees to taking him on the condition that his friend can find someone else to care for him in one month.
Bob has the challenge of telling his wife of his affair and that the woman he slept with had his son and never said anything to him. To commit such adultery and to ask for forgiveness is quite ballsy. You can see how it rocks their marriage and tears up Sheila with wanting to know why he chose to do it. It was a difficult read in wanting Sheila to set aside her anger for her husband and let his SON stay and be apart of their family. You can't really blame her for her feelings as she felt betrayed. It was an emotional read and very enjoyable, I would read it again.
