The title story chronicles the subtle, predatory maneuvering of two gay men on the French Riviera as they scheme to seduce a young newlywed husband away from his oblivious bride, all observed with cool detachment by a middle-aged writer who serves as narrator. Throughout the collection, Greene illustrates how love, lust, and deception intersect in ways that are simultaneously comic and quietly devastating, rendering his characters' vulnerabilities with both wit and compassion. The tone is sophisticated and ironic, carrying the unmistakable voice of a writer who understands human weakness intimately and refuses to judge it too harshly. These stories stand as a testament to Greene's remarkable range, proving that the author of grand moral thrillers was equally at home in the intimate, bittersweet territory of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792242749659,"sku":"2026600000372-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9838fe2d-67fe-4f6e-a00e-18a5bd1df718.png?v=1779273890","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000372-secondhand-may-we-borrow-your-husband-and-other-comedies-of-the-sexual-life","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
