520    "From the acclaimed author of Miss Burma, longlisted for 
       the National Book Award and the Women's Prize, comes a 
       tense and thought-provoking exploration of an intellectual
       affair and its reverberations across the lives of two 
       couples. Tessa is a successful white woman writer who 
       develops a friendship, first by correspondence and then in
       person, with Charlie, a ruggedly handsome philosopher and 
       scholar based in Los Angeles. Sparks fly as they exchange 
       ideas about Camus and masculine desire, and their 
       intellectual connection promises more--but there are 
       obstacles to this burgeoning relationship. While Tessa's 
       husband Milton enjoys Charlie's company on his visits to 
       the East Coast, Charlie's mixed-race Asian wife Wah is a 
       different case, and she proves to be both adversary and 
       conundrum to Tessa. Wah's traditional femininity and 
       subservience to her husband strike Tessa as weaknesses, 
       and she scoffs at the sacrifices Wah makes as adoptive 
       mother to a Burmese girl, Htet, once homeless on the 
       streets of Kuala Lumpur. But Wah has a kind of power too, 
       especially over Charlie, and the conflict between the two 
       women leads to Tessa's martini-fueled declaration that Wah
       is "an insult to womankind."|cProvided by publisher
