Publisher's Summary

In Edmund White's most moving novel yet, an American living in Paris finds his life transformed by an unexpected love affair.

Austin Smith is pushing fifty, loveless and drifting, until one day he meets Julien, a much younger, married Frenchman. In the beginning, the lovers' only impediments are the comic clashes of culture, age, and temperament. Before long, however, the past begins to catch up with them. In a desperate quest to save health and happiness, they move from Venice to Key West, from Montreal in the snow to Providence in the rain. But it is amid the bleak, baking sands of the Sahara that their love is pushed to its ultimate crisis.

Narration by railway station announcer

Probably a good book. Hard to tell. Every joke killed and every line given in a bizarre up-beat tune by someone with no knowledge of English. Sounds like the actor's words were fed into a piece of software and garbled out by a computer. Terrible. If I was the author, I would be fuming, and I bet the voice actor can't be pleased either. Will go back and read the book. Avoid this.
