But then, along comes Claire, and Harry and Maddy take her under their wing. I'm so disturbed and changed by it, almost to the point of pain. View all 30 comments. Although the book has a narrator similar to The Great Gatsby, I found the books to be different, as F. Boy, did I love this book. They are the perfect couple.

I did not want to be freed. It sometimes happen that I can consider a book to be technically very good while also thinking there are major problems with the characterisation or some other key issue - another good example of this would be Elanor Dymott's Every Contact Leaves a Trace - just as I can occasionally really indiscrecoin a book I know to be quite badly written.
The author's use of a narrator was well done. The device he employs of having the narrator recount the story by looking back on events only adds to the tension. It is elegant and evocative. A sword that nidiscrecion reputedly belonged to Murat, and for which I paid a small fortune, hangs over the mantel.
Dubow met his wife Melinda in in New York City. Will the foundation crumble or will a touch of love repair the fault? And he has borrowed some tricks near the end from Ian MacEwan in Atonement. Why am I the narrator of this story?
Walter is a writer who has just won the National Book Award and they entertain in a Salon-like fashion, always with Harry and Maddie lovingly together. Not a person of great economic means, he spent his college summers working and joined the military after college.
In fact, almost every character in this book is of the upper class and they have trust funds and don't keep track of their money as they spend it on whatever pleases them. What begins as a simple dalliance turns into a full fledged affair which then tears the Winslows apart.
Walter suffers from his unrequited romantic love for Maddy. Outline addition is still available. And, yes, the AC was on. Few closing thoughts character wise - I hate that Claire didn't find herself culpable in the demise of Harry and Maddy's marriage - she set out to seduce, pushed for further encounters and ondiscrecion no thought for any one else - if dibow were someone I knew, I would pretty much hate her. There is beautiful Maddy, Harry's wife, who just seems to be along for the ride in a lot of parts of the book.
If one aspires to perfection everything else seems so disappointing.
Indiscretion
The book is written without any boring parts at all. I can't quite put my finger on it but I feel like it had something to do with the constant niggling in the back of my mind that something was going to go drastically wrong?

It also didn't hurt that Dubow's descriptions of Paris and Greece and New York, all the finer aspects of this great big world many of us are too poor or too busy to experience first hand with any regularity are quite well done. There is Claire, who wants more, always more.
It showed the brevity of the choice to cheat and the way it can tear lives apart. And that lack of contentment pushes us to try new things, to brave the unknown, to alter our lives and risk losing everything we already had.
A story of love, lust, deception, and betrayal as seen through the omniscient eyes of Maddy's childhood friend Walter, a narrator akin to Nick Carraway in The Great Gatsby, Indiscretion is a juicy, richly textured novel filled with fascinating, true-to-life characters—an irresistibly sensual page-turner that explores having it all and the consequences of wanting more.
One of my hobbies. This is the sort of book that makes you think and these are the sort of characters that I don't think any of us would really like to end up like.
