Martin Lynch-Gibbon believes he can possess both a beautiful wife and a delightful lover. But when his wife, Antonia, suddenly leaves him for her psychoanalyst, Martin is plunged into an intensive emotional re-education. He attempts to behave beautifully and sensibly. Then he meets a woman whose demonic splendour at first repels him and later arouses a consuming and monstrous passion. As his Medusa informs him, 'this is nothing to do with happiness'.

3.5 (Bom)

Bom primeiro contato com a autora

Adoraria ver uma adaptação modernizada desse livro pro cinema, uma comédia romântica bem absurda, combinaria bem

no geral, tem uns pedaços bem engraçados - pela absurdez da situação - e uma carga psicanalítica pesada, uma pena o personagem principal ser detestável e meio sonso

3.5/5
