Commentary Toward Books The Perfect Happiness
Wonderfully wise Santa Montefiore will capture your heart with this "bittersweet and thought-provoking"* novel about a modern wife who must ask herself, Would I risk everything for love?A wife who has forgotten her own beauty and allure. A distant, distracted husband. A smart, candlelit dinner party, witty conversation, and a charmingly rugged vineyard owner from South Africa. So begins Santa Montefiore’s powerful and poignant new novel in which a woman who finds herself in a common predicament must confront the most unlikely aspects of herself.
"I hope you don’t mind my writing to you," begins the first e-mail bestselling children’s book author Angelica receives from Jack. Surely it can’t do any harm to indulge in a mild flirtation. After all, she wouldn’t risk her stable marriage and the happiness of her treasured children. But things don’t stop at an e-mail, and when Angelica goes to Cape Town for a book tour, her affair with Jack begins in earnest. On their last day together, he makes a stunning confession, and now everything Angelica thought she knew about love and passion, safety and experience, right and wrong are entirely upended once again.
A tender book about the true meaning of love and happily ever after, The Perfect Happiness is for any woman who has ever looked up from her steady, secure life and secretly wondered "what if . . ."

The author takes VERY popular and famous quotes and claims them as her own. Quite frankly, I don't know how this book was published, because I feel it isAngelica, a children's author, lives in London with her banker French husband and two children she adores. She has a good circle of close friends and a privileged lifestyle.At a dinner party, she meets charismatic South African Jack Meyer and, despite her reservations, is drawn into an affair with him.As usual, Santa writes in beautiful details about places and as a reader we are taken around London and South Africa.There are twists and turns and you want to know how the story ends for all those
Childrens book author Angelica is quite happy with her lot. She has a successful career, 2 beautiful children and a French husband who works hard for his family in the world of banking. They have a very comfortable existence, and although the excitement in her marriage has petered out a little, Angelica still feels lucky with her life. However, when she meets South African wine maker Jack, she doesnt expect to develop strong feelings for him, so much so that she is willing to risk her safe and
I loved this and read it in three days. What stood out for me was the way the author added some powerful life messages in there. This has everything. Passion, philosophy and intrigue.
Terrible book! Just pages and pages of nonsense. It took absolutely forever for anything to happen. Then a few pages dedicated to the "savage violence" that supposedly tore then apart. And back to London where she suddenly realises how wonderful her husband really is. And diamonds from the husband helps off course! The other things that irks me is that this book was published in 2010, yet the writer makes South Africa out to be a racist country. And her description of Africa makes it sound like
This is the story of a faithful and committed English wife who is also a successful author, and Olivier, her wealthy, wayward and often rude French husband. Angelica always meant to remain true to her vows, until a charismatic South African crosses her path at a dinner party. There her heart finds its soulmate. At first, friendship is all she seeks from this stranger who has a mesmerising way with words through clandestine emails and eventually during a memorable lunch where the wine and
