Freedman's new novel picks up where her previous [The Affair, 2013] left off: Now that the wife has confronted the mistress, can a marriage survive?... Although dissecting an affair in a split narrative can be illuminating..., Freedman too often repeats scenes, offers clunky comparisons...and lacks new insights into the world of extramarital affairs to make the narrative experiment worthwhile. Familiar ground that's been done better before.
