L'AffaireA New York Times BestsellerAmy Hawkins, who has made her fortune at the top of the NASDAQ, sets off to Europe to find culture, her roots, and maybe a cause to devote her considerable fortune to. A few days into her trip, Amy is nearly swept away by an avalanche. Two of the hotel guests were not so fortunate. Already suspect as an American, Amy finds that her nationality freezes the social climate as she steps in to assist the family. |
