Good Minds Suggest: Tatiana de Rosnay's Favorite Books About Forbidden Love
Posted by Goodreads on July 7, 2015
The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve
"This is a haunting story about a woman who learns that her husband has died in a crash. She then discovers that he had a secret life—and another love."
Be Mine by Laura Kasischke
"Sherry is a respected college professor, happy with her husband of 20 years, until she receives an anonymous Valentine's Day note in her locker. This will wreak havoc in her private life and open forbidden gates. How far will she go?"
Lady Chatterly's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
"This touching novel is one of my favorites, the impossible and secret love story between Lady Chatterley and Mellors, her crippled husband's gamekeeper. D.H. Lawrence describes passion and sexuality beautifully; he had originally called this novel Tenderness, and when you read it, you understand why!"
The End of the Affair by Graham Greene
"Maurice and Sarah, two neighbors, were involved in an adulterous love affair during WW2 and the Blitz. Sarah, riddled with guilt, decides to break off the relationship. But two years later, her husband is determined to find out the truth. The description of wartime London and the agony of illicit love are both riveting."
Other Women by Evelyn Lau
"Fiona had an affair with a married man, who has finally decided to return to his wife. This poignant and gripping novel describes what it is like being the other woman and explores the obsession and pain involved in the aftermath of an affair."

Have read 3 out of 5 of these and I would say she is 'spot on'! Will be checking out the other two very soon
I would add Mercy to this list. I am a fan of Jodi Picoult so in my opinion, the affair was wonderfully written - but I hated watching it unfold! Difficult to "enjoy" but definitely a worthwhile read.
