experience is so poorly understood.  What are we to make of this time-honoured taboo—universally forbidden yet universally practiced?  Why do people cheat—even those in happy marriages?  Why does an affair hurt so much?  Do our romantic expectations of marriage set us up for betrayal?  Is there such a thing as an affair-proof marriage?  Is it possible to love more than one person at once?  Can an affair ever help a marriage?  Perel weaves real-life case stories with incisive psychological and cultural analysis in this fast-paced and compelling book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the past ten years, Perel has traveled the globe and worked with hundreds of couples who have grappled with infidelity.  Betrayal hurts, she writes, but it can be healed.  An affair can even be the doorway to a new marriage—with the same person.  Affairs, she argues, have a lot to teach us about modern relationships—what we expect, what we think we want, and what we feel entitled to.  They offer a unique window into our personal and cultural attitudes about love, lust, and commitment.  Through examining illicit love from multiple angles, Perel invites readers into an honest, enlightened, and

This was perhaps most clearly evident in the West End, the well-known home to the city's tight-knit gay community that would soon be devastated by the AIDS epidemic. But the West End's tree-lined streets were also populated by sex workers, both female and male, who fought a well-publicized turf war with residents. This, combined with a rising crime rate, invited the closer attention of the Vancouver police, including its vice squad. But after a body was found dumped in nearby Stanley Park, it was discovered that the victim's high-profile connections reached far beyond the streets and back alleys of the West End, making for one of the most shocking investigations in Vancouver history, with secrets long held, and never fully told until now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVancouver Vice\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ereveals the captivating beating heart of a neighbourhood long before the arrival of gentrifying condo towers and coffee bars.
