?Se olvida alguna vez el primer amor?

Decadas de secretos y mentiras han conducido a Elle al dia de hoy.

Tiene 24 horas para tomar la decision que cambiaria su vida para siempre.

Antes de que nadie se despierte, en una perfecta manana de agosto, Elle se dirige a nadar en el esplendido estanque del Palacio de Papel, la casa en los bosques de Cape Cod donde su familia ha pasado los veranos durante generaciones. Desde el porche, Elle aun puede ver la mesa sin recoger de la cena; copas de vino vacias, cera de velas en el mantel, ecos de las risas de sus familiares y conocidos. Pero esta manana es diferente: la noche anterior Elle y su mejor amigo de la infancia, Jonas, se escabulleron para tener un apasionado encuentro contra la pared exterior de la casa mientras sus parejas charlaban en el interior.

Decadas de recuerdos, secretos y mentiras han conducido a Elle hasta este dia. Ahora, durante las siguientes veinticuatro horas, tendra que elegir entre la vida que ha construido con su maravilloso marido, Peter, y la que imagino con su primer amor, Jonas, si un tragico suceso no lo hubiera cambiado todo para siempre.

A story of summer, secrets, love, and lies: in the course of a singular day
on Cape Cod, one woman must make a life-changing decision that has been
brewing for decades.

This house, this place, knows all my secrets.

It is a perfect July morning, and Elle, a fifty-year-old happily married
mother of three, awakens at The Paper Palace -the family summer place which
she has visited every summer of her life. But this morning is different: last
night Elle and her oldest friend Jonas crept out the back door into the
darkness and had sex with each other for the first time, all while their
spouses chatted away inside. Now, over the next twenty-four hours, Elle will
have to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved
husband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with her
childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn’t forever changed the course of
their lives. As Heller colors in the experiences that have led Elle to this
day, we arrive at her ultimate decision with all its complexity. Tender yet
devastating, The Paper Palace considers the tensions between desire and
dignity, the legacies of abuse, and the crimes and misdemeanors of families.
