Reviews
On Mar 11 2019, a reader said:
Peter De Vries could write like no others. Urbane, witty AND funny. He tackled the ticklish lines between the ideal and the imperfections of us all, with a gentle hand and a grace that makes it all ring with a golden glow. It's been years since i actually read this story; from the cover it concerns extra marital affair and covering it up but needless to say its all in the journey or the telling. Just a wonderful writer and one of a kind. He is deeply missed.
