BOOK TALK: I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN HERE WITHOUT YOU

“Funny and soulful . . . Filled with wise and revealing insights about the mature rewards embattled marriages provide.  . . [An] immensely appealing novel.”— WALL STREET JOURNAL

“A winning first novel of infidelity, forgiveness, and (maybe, just maybe) falling back in love.”

— O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE

Thirty-four-year-old British artist Richard Haddon’s first solo show in Paris is a success—his paintings are selling like hot cakes. Despite this and the presence of his beautiful and brilliant French wife, Anne, and their adorable daughter, Camille, Richard is desperately miserable about the departure of his American mistress, Lisa.

But after Richard discovers that a painting he originally made for his wife—when they were first married and deeply in love—has sold, it shocks him back to reality and he resolves to reinvest wholeheartedly in his family life. . . just in time for his wife to learn the extent of his affair. Rudderless and remorseful, Richard embarks on a series of misguided attempts to win Anne back while focusing his creative energy on an art piece to prove that he’s still the man she once loved and married.

Skillfully balancing biting wit with a deep emotional undercurrent, debut novelist Courtney Maum has created the perfect portrait of an imperfect family—and a heartfelt exploration of marriage, love, and fidelity.
