In an ideal world, they would never have met. Vivien Simpson is a happy housewife with a young son who adores her successful lawyer husband. Edward Davis is an ambitious aide to an important Congressman who loves his wife. When an airplane crash brings about the discovery that their supposedly loving and now deceased spouses were involved in a passionate love affair, they are devastated. Together, they embark on a search for the reasons of their spouse's infidelity. In the process, they discover much about themselves and how the mysterious nature of love can render people too powerless to resist. Random Hearts was a Literary Guild selection and has been translated into 30 languages. It was adapted into a movie of the same name with Harrison Ford.
