An Improbable Pairing
An Improbable Pairing | Gary Dickson
7 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
It began as a simple flirtation . . . In September of 1963, Scott Stoddard, an American graduate student, is traveling to Switzerland, when he meets the Countess de Rovere, a French divorcee; he is smitten, and she is intrigued. What begins as a little coquetry soon becomes a serious love affair, much to the consternation of the Countesss ex-husband and mother, not to mention the Countesss friends of European high society. A meeting of equals poses problems enough, but what about one between two people who seem to have so many differences? And when a man of traditional attitudes couples with an independent and self-confident woman, somethings got to give. It wont be the countess. As their liaison transcends an affair that cannot be dismissed, they all agree that something must be done. An Improbable Pairing is a historical romance that chronicles the enduring themes of a young mans coming of age and the rebellious love of the mismatched. This pas de deux, set in the golden years of 1960s Paris, Geneva, Gstaad, and Cannes, provides an insiders peek into the worlds of haute couture, three-star gourmet restaurants, and lavish hotel suitesthe domains of rank and privilege. But societys privileged resist when an interloper threatens to upset their cozy structure.

I would have liked more substance. It just feel short. It also ended with some questions left to be answered.

This book title: An Improbable Pairing by Gary Dickson is a perfect description for my husband and I. We are ying and yang. However, this book is not about my husband, nor I, because i am not a Countess and we don‘t live in Paris during the 1960‘s. We are similar to this story though —one of high bred culture & one of a simple blue collar raising. This is a love story of one traditional American man, and one headstrong woman. 😉

Buechersuechtling Thank you, your opost warmed my heart in the quite early Saturday morning. But it make me also grin a little bit because: If this is your husband who you caught in the back of your picture, he doesn‘t seem very happy with his portrayal or with what you are posting. 😉 – Happy Saturday (reading), stay safe and healthy. 🤗 5y
LinesUponAPage @Buechersuechtling Jessica- he didn‘t have a problem with my photo, except that he was annoyed that I interrupted him while he‘s been working on this project for the last 4 weeks and has realized that the sprinkler system is trash so now he has to rebuild it. He doesn‘t mind my posts. He knows I appreciate him. He also knows iI include personal stuff when i do post. 🙃😍😇 grin away baby! We all need a good uplift with this stinking pandemic. 😬 (edited) 5y

1960s, young man from America travels to Europe to go to graduate school. Sees beautiful woman on boat and is introduced via a mutual acquaintance. After they part from the trip, he constantly thinks of her and ends up meeting with her again as they start a love affair. This book was fair. The plot was decent but the details of the rooms they were in or the close they were wearing was a bit too much for me.

Almost done this book but I have to say that I‘m getting really tired of hearing how things are decorated and minute details of what people are wearing.
