The second anthology in the “Dark Liaisons” collection brings us another 3-Books under one-cover describing romance going wrong on the outer shores of romance. In Xavier Couperin’s “One-Way-Marriage”, we learn of the devastating effects a wife’s divorced friend has upon her marriage and the even more life-changing impact the changes wrought in the wife will have upon her husband. Sandrine Bessancort’s “Useless Beauty Revisited”, brings a change of pace and period as Ms Bessancort brings us her re-imagined work of classic fiction detailing how the taken for granted wife of an aristocratic husband in nineteenth-century Paris ensures her egotistic and overbearing husband will NEVER ignore her again. Rafael Menton concludes the triad with “Why?”, as a wife in a satisfying and loving relationship embarks upon an affair with man she neither loves nor particularly likes even. The question of “Why?” becoming even more of a mystery and heartache for her when the tragic and irrevocable consequences of her affair come home to roost. This is book-two of an ongoing collection showcasing tales of romance and marriage gone wrong.
