Publisher's Synopsis
In the idyllic setting of Provence, a tale of obsessive love, treachery, and survival unfolds. Rai, an accomplished English journalist, leaves her thriving career in Hong Kong to build a life with Alain, a brilliant French sculptor. The allure of the move is strong, and she's hopeful for their shared future. But Provence, typically synonymous with paradise, reveals to Rai a whirlwind of cultural nuances, from the sweetness of life to unexpected promiscuity. Adding to the enigma is the strange rift between Alain and his younger brother, Pierre, and the unsettling mystery surrounding the death of their elder sibling in India. When Alain proposes, Rai's happiness knows no bounds. However, post-marriage, their blissful life starts to unravel, leading to intense personal battles, both with external forces and Rai's internal struggles. X in Provence weaves together the charm of A Year in Provence, the erotic tension of Fifty Shades of Grey, and the profound intrigue of The Brothers Karamazov into a gripping tale of passion and suspense.
