«Et puis après» is the novel by Françoise Dorin, published by Plon in hardback in 2005 (295 pages, in French).
After thirty years as the exemplary wife of a sexist husband, Agnès leaves him, becomes a novelist, and believes she finds happiness with her editor, who dies in an accident on the same day that her friend Aline's husband dies. The double posthumous revelation that both deceased were not as virtuous as they seemed changes the mourning: anger leads to forgetting, and this, to new paths.
