'The book of 2025.' Mail on Sunday Working late? Midnight calls? Suspicious texts? One in
five of us will have an affair in our lifetimes - but the reasons behind them might not be what
you think. Psychotherapist Juliet Rosenfeld shares the secrets lies and motivations behind
real affairs through the lens of five very different true stories. We meet the man who left
his wife in the delivery suite to visit his young mistress and the psychologist who put
attraction to a patient above career ethics. We hear from the surgeon who risked everything for
someone he'd only ever spoken to online and the previously straight woman who cheated on her
husband with a female colleague - and changed all of their lives. In Affairs this
deeply-concealed but exceptionally common aspect of human behaviour is brought out into the
light and explored without judgement or shame. True personal stories ground-breaking research
and expert psychological analysis come together to change everything you have ever thought
about infidelity. 'Hugely thoughtful and stimulating. . . Can't fail to leave us with new
insights on our lives.' - Alain de Botton 'I found it brutal heartbreaking and in a strange
way (after its tales had settled in me) inspiring.' - You Magazine
