An engrossing, well-written novel about a woman, Anna, who cannot stop herself from committing adultery.  Although married with three children, Anna is, in some ways, alone and unloved.  She is an American living in Zurich and feels foreign in every respect.  A fast, easy read, but one that is satisfying.
