    About this audiobook

    Stone Barrington returns in the new edge-of-your-seat thriller from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author.
     
    When he's apprised at the last minute of a mandatory meeting abroad, Stone Barrington rushes off to Europe for a whirlwind tour of business and, of course, pleasure. But from the start the trip seems to be cursed, plagued by suspicious "accidents" and unfortunate events, and some of Stone's plans go up in flames-literally. 

    Not a believer in coincidence, Stone sets out to learn the true source of his curious misfortune and finds that what appeared to be bad luck may, in fact, have been a warning. From the chic streets of Paris to Italy's spectacular Amalfi Coast, Stone is pursued from all sides . . . but when the tables turn, the hunted may become the hunter . . .

    • 4/5
      So many novels have some kind of novelty approach: jumping around in time, not really having a plot, telling a story through a character's mail, etc. Foreign Affairs does have two narrators, but it is a good old straightforward novel. Two Americans, academics from the same Northeastern college who have only a passing acquaintance, are both in London for research. They both undergo unexpected and life-changing experiences, some good and some bad. Lurie's characters have real depth, and despite having some serious psychological problems, seem like people you might actually know, not just crazy characters that only appear in novels.
    • 4/5

      I remember picking some of Lurie's books up in my late teens or early twenties and not being able to get into them at all. Now I'm finding them to be great books, almost page turners. Maybe I just grew into them.

      Fun story of three Americans in London, exceedingly well written and funny and sad in all the right places.

    • 5/5
      Unusual, beautiful and poignant story for which author Alison Lurie won a Pulitzer Prize.
    • 3/5
      Story of two Americans in London, both academics working on grants, one a fiftysomething spinster prof., the other a young handsome instructor, both saddled with love-baggage and suffering therefrom. In London, they each find romance and each learn something different about being English, being American, and being in love. Classed as a romantic comedy, this book seems to me too full of hard truths about implacable social rules/roles and personal failings to fit that category.
    • 4/5
      Novel follow two Americans during a stint in London, who work at the same university but are completely different people. It's also about their foreign affairs.
    • 2/5
      I had a hard time getting into this book and found it to be a disappointing Pulitzer. The main character, Vinnie, remains a pill despite opportunities to really change her life. I don't know the point of Fred's (Vinnie's contrived contrasting main character) story other than he, like Vinnie, goes back to his old life as well.
