Beschreibung

Anna Benz, an American in her late thirties, lives with her Swiss husband, Bruno - a banker - and their three young children in a picture-perfect suburb of Zürich.

Though she leads a comfortable life, Anna feels lost inside. Adrift and increasingly unable to connect with Bruno, or even with her own feelings, Anna tries to rouse herself with new experiences: German classes, psychoanalysis, and a series of sexual affairs that she enters with an ease that surprises her.

But she soon finds she can't so easily extract herself from these relationships. Destroying her life, one small misstep at a time, Anna will discover where a woman goes when there is no going back . . .
