A passionate novel of unstoppable physical obsession amongst a
group of Brussels eurocrats, Illegal Liaisons offers a fascinating
insight into the first Polish generation that is truly 'free', but
struggle to know where the boundaries of that freedom lie. Jonathan
takes the role of a stay-at-home dad when his wife Megi moves the
family from Poland to Brussels to pursue a career as a lawyer in
the European Commission. Much as Jonathan tries, his new life seems
to leave him with a void which he soon fills with the body of the
sexy, up-and-coming Swedish journalist Andrea. What follows is a
tormenting battle between conscience and desire, which more often
than not ends in a draw. Plebanek writes about sex in an
unembarrassed way, asking uncomfortable questions about what is
moral. Her characters have to negotiate between the old-fashioned
devout Catholicism they grew up with, and the modern way of living
they are desperate to embrace. Watch them as they try to claim
their rightful place within the international crowd in the big
world that turns out to be really rather small. Expect the upending
of stereotypes, a fair amount of profanity and a good share of
smut.
