Articoli correlati a The Englishman's Wife
John and Georgia abandon the hectic pace of London life and move to a more 'real' existence in their dream cottage in the Dordogne.
Their first summer is awash with parties with other English people. And they seem to be accepted by their French neighbors, an unpolished lot full of prejudices. In the harsh winter, their savings dwindle as John's work as a freelance writer dries up. With more time on his hands than is good for him, he begins to see his wife in a new light: Why does she smile so much in the company of other men, and why is she wearing more make-up these days?
John begins to lose the plot as he panics about their financial state and Georgia's suspected infidelities. When a local woman is found dead, John has a cast-iron alibi - he was in London at the time. Or was he?
