First came LE ORCE, then LE MARIAGE, and now L'AFFAIRE. Diane Johnson places a group of wealthy skiers in a resort in the French Alps, where an avalanche buries a married couple, both of whom are in a coma. As relatives and friends gather at their bedsides, an American businesswoman named Amy Hawkins, who becomes involved in the situation when she befriends the young brother of one of the victims. The only American in a blizzard of les frantais, Amy finds that her assumptions about a lot of things--money, family, sex--are seriously challenged.
