About the Book

It's sexy. It's roguish. It's hilarious. It's a sensational debut novel from London, a joyously comic take on modern marriage and its fallout. Single people may feel they have it rough...but wait until you see what happens when married folk fall in lust. Connie Green's life should be perfect. She has a hot career, her wonderful husband, Luke, and a bunch of great girlfriends. But she has just met overwhelmingly sexy John at a business conference. Her head and her heart said, "no way," but her traitorous body shrieked "yes, YES!" Now Connie's deep into a tawdry affair, which is destroying her peace of mind and her grand plan for Happily Ever After. Maybe John is her destiny. After all, she's losing weight. It can't be a bad thing if she's losing weight, can it? Connie longs to confide in her girlfriends. They've always discussed their sex lives before, preferably over cocktails. But this infidelity thing makes it a trifle awkward. Connie's not quite sure what she wants. And that's exactly the trouble. A novel for every woman juggling the untidy mix of work, romance, sex, and marriage, Playing Away shimmers with equal parts comic relief and penentrating insight. Adele Parks has crafted a cunningly revealing portrait of the lives of hip, urban women, poised at the cusp of a millennium.

Review :
Daily Mail (U.K.) A modern fairy tale in the classic sense of the word: a story of wanting what you can't have, filled with perils and beasts... Elle Compulsively addictive! Kirkus Reviews An affecting first novel successfully conbines a cheeky first-person narrative with a serious look at the consequences of adultery....A balanced exploration of the rules of marriage. Marie Claire A light comic novel...This month's Pick of the Paperbacks (April 2000). Publishers Weekly Playing Away is a very edgy book. It's also wickedly funny and very sexy. The Belles and Beaux of Romance Sometimes shocking, hilariously funny, and true to life....Perfect for 'nineties who are caught in the grip of love, marriage, relationships and powerful sex....Very thought-provoking. The Times (U.K.) Plenty to entertain yet the overtly girly stuff conceals a much more serious agenda.
