Synopsis
International Bestseller * Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction "Far more than a conventional novel. It is a meditation on life, on the erotic, on the nature of men and women and love . . . full of telling details, truths large and small, to which just about every reader will respond." -- People In The Unbearable Lightness of Being, acclaimed author Milan Kundera tells the story of two couples, a young woman in love with a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing, and one of his mistresses and her humbly faithful lover.

- i***n (80)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIt was labeled as very good condition, and I would consider this fair (dirty, some rips and wear on the cover). It also took nearly 3 weeks to arrive. It's fine, but just be aware you won't be getting your own quickly, and it's going to be a couple steps down from the condition posted.
