ACTUELLEMENT ÉPUISÉ

A Price to Pay by Susan Jay, Sue MacAdam (Hardcover, 2009)

What happens when you have a nearly-divorced man worshipping a nymphomaniac, who has more skeletons than clothes in her closet, a seemingly serious businessman with some very strange sexual practices, a lesbian truck-driver, a corrupt entrepreneur and a mysterious American who loses his memory? The setting is Africa and A Price To Pay tells the story of these dysfunctionals living in a small town expatriate community, many of whom have dark and deep secrets and each hides behind their own curtain of mystery. A brilliant and successful attempt to combine serious, emotional struggles with scenes of rarified comedy, A Price To Pay is outrageously entertaining and readers, both young and old, will appreciate the honest look into the characters' lives and find it easy to see themselves. The book tackles issues such as sexual perversions, drug smuggling, divorce, life threatening viruses and past secrets, capturing the undivided attention of its readers. Susan Jay was born and brought up in England and after meeting her future husband, she moved to Africa to be with him and stayed for twenty years. She lived in several African countries and traveled extensively on the continent. She worked in the tourism industry for many years and for the last part of her time in Africa she managed a lodge in a National Game Park. She now lives with her partner on the west coast of Canada.
