Any manor womanwho wants to hear nothingor no moreabout love should put this book down.


Anna and Louise could be sisters, but they dont know each other. They are both married with children, and for the most part, they are happy. On almost the same day, Anna, a psychiatrist, crosses paths with Yves, a writer, while Louise, a lawyer, meets Annas analyst, Thomas. Love at first sight is still possible for those into their forties and long-married. But when you have already mapped out a life path, a passionate affair can come at a high price. For our four characters, their lives are unexpectedly turned upside down by the deliciously inconvenient arrival of love. For Anna, meeting Yves has brought a flurry of excitement to her life and made her question her values, her reliable husband, and her responsibilities to her children. For Louise, a successful career woman in a stable and comfortable marriage, her routine is uprooted by the youthful passion she feels for Thomas. Thought-provoking, sophisticated, and, above all, amusing, Enough About Love captures the euphoria of desire through tender and unflinching portraits of husbands, wives, and lovers.… (more)

Una novela ingeniosa y encantadora de Hervé Le Tellier que explora la naturaleza del amor a partir de los cuarenta al más puro estilo de Woody Allen.
Anna y Louise podrían ser hermanas, pero no se conocen. Las dos están casadas, son madres y son razonablemente felices en sus relaciones de pareja. Casi el mismo día, Anna se cruza con un escritor, Yves, y Louise conoce a Thomas. Sus vidas van a verse completamente alteradas por la deliciosa e inconveniente llegada del amor. Con 40 años todavía es posible caer rendido al amor y reescribir el propio destino, pero ¿a qué precio? Provocadora, sofisticada y, por encima de todo, divertida y entretenida, No hablemos más de amor explora la euforia del deseo a través de las trayectorias de sus personajes.

It's both a simple, yet complex story of two married Parisian women who each have an affair. The author opens a window for the reader, allowing us to glimpse the heated passion, complications, frustrations and sadness of middle-aged romance. As the story unfolds, the reader cannot help but self-reflect on their own morals and wonder what, if anything, they would have done differently. Le Tellier's book was a delight to read, and I hope to stumble upon more of his titles in the library."

Έξυπνο, σύντομο, λιτό, "καθαρό" εκφραστικά, εξαιρετικά γραμμένο μυθιστόρημα. Μπαίνει στ' αγαπημένα μου, με τη μία.

Εξαιρετική και η μετάφραση του Αχιλλέα Κυριακίδη. ( )

Yves and Anna, Thomas and Louise, Stan and Romaine.Two parallel love affairs in Paris intersect. As a member of the Oullipo, Herve Le Tellier has an innovative and creative writing style that enables this intersection. The characters are charming, interesting and amusing and the story is smart, sophisticated and provocative. A beautifully tender portrait of relationships between husbands, wives and lovers.I read this tongue in cheek after two re-readings of both Symposium and Lysis by Plato but ended up really enjoying it. Le Tellier has an insight into relationships between men and women and a gift for writing about them. ( )

Beautifully written! Enough About Love is the story of two couples whose lives intertwine, affairs and love. Highly recommend it! ( )
