Elskerinde: Confessions of the Other Woman

A lot of people would say that I deserved what I got. I would be one of them.
Starting with a getaway to Denmark, Elskerinde: Confessions of the Other Woman chronicles a dramatic descent into a sordid affair with a married man and the whirlwind relationship that ensued.
It's a non-fiction novel that analyzes the complex and sometimes dark aspects of humanity, and how love and desire can lead people into morally questionable territory. In raw and intimate detail, A.M. Bristow weaves an elaborate tale of deceit, love, and betrayal. From their first sexual encounter in Copenhagen to a drawn-out divorce, the story highlights the rapturous highs and devastating lows of a doomed relationship.
Bristow explores the true consequences of going from being the other woman to being the only woman. The price paid for getting involved with a cheating husband is constant doubt, never knowing whether suspicions are a ghost of his past behavior or a symptom of present behavior; it's constantly living in the shadow of the woman he left.
It's a narrative for anyone that's ever been cheated on and wondered why. It's a true story written on behalf of every "other woman" in honor of the woman he betrayed. And what it's like to be both.

A.M. Bristow is a Cuban-born writer raised in the United States who writes contemporary fiction when she's not traveling and writing about that. In fiction, she explores the overreaching philosophical theme that hell is other people. She currently lives in the Czech Republic, where she gives life to her cynical thoughts.
Bristow was formally trained and shaped by the world of academia, before abandoning her scholarly pursuits in psychology and education in order to dedicate herself to writing on a nearly full-time basis. You can find her insights and tips about travel on her blog, www.GnomeTrotting.com.
Available books by the author include: Savage, Elskerinde: Confessions of the Other Woman, Crimson Sheets, and A Trilogy of Disappointment (and a dash of hope). You can connect directly with A.M. Bristow on Twitter.
