She was in her early thirties when she moved to Paris, married a dashing fellow journalist, and became a celebrated author. Yet now, it’s her husband who churns out a book a year and wears earplugs around the house. Her adolescent children are more French than American, and her Parisian neighbors haven’t gotten any more welcoming. Once a prolific writer, she has slipped in status to her family’s head of purchasing and quality control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTired of feeling unappreciated—and tempted by an unexpected offer from a man from her past—Druckerman decides to try on the famously flexible French approach to monogamy (“What is fidelity, really? Isn’t it to be true to yourself?”). She grants herself a one-off fiftieth birthday present: a secret afternoon with “the banker.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat ensues is more than she ever expected. Is this radical self-care or relationship suicide? Have honesty-obsessed Americans been approaching coupledom all wrong? Can an American in Paris ever truly become French?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Monogamy Prize\u003c\/i\u003e is a disarmingly intimate and deeply funny account of one woman’s passage and a bold exploration of the rules of modern marriage.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"descriptionPanel___wCiv7\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-font-no-hover medium-small-font bold descriptionHeader___aNBPJ\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"MuiGrid-root MuiGrid-container css-1b1jvye\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panelContent___B_vGb\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"contribBio\"\u003ePamela Druckerman is a journalist and the author of six books including \u003ci\u003eBringing Up Bébé\u003c\/i\u003e, which has been translated into thirty-one languages and is being developed by Netflix into a feature film.
