Alex has spent the majority of his adult life between two very
different women--and he can't make up his mind. Sonia, his wife and
business partner, is everything a man would want. Intelligent,
gorgeous, charming, and ambitious, she worked tirelessly alongside
him to open their architecture firm and to build a life of luxury.
But when the seven-year itch sets in, their exhaustion at working
long hours coupled with their failed attempts at starting a family
get the best of them. Alex soon finds himself kindling an affair
with his college lover, Ivona. The young Polish woman who worked in
a Catholic mission is the polar opposite of Sonia: dull, passive,
taciturn, and plain. Despite having little in common with Ivona,
Alex is inexplicably drawn to her while despising himself for it.
Torn between his highbrow marriage and his lowbrow affair, Alex is
stuck within a spiraling threesome. But when Ivona becomes
pregnant, life takes an unexpected turn, and Alex is puzzled more
than ever by the mysteries of his heart.
Peter Stamm, one of Switzerland's most acclaimed writers, is at
his best exploring the complexities of human relationships. "Seven
Years "is a distinct, sobering, and bold novel about the
impositions of happiness in the quest for love.
