This love story concerns a modern, self-assured and successful young couple who take personal risks in their relationship whilst making 'promises of love and good behaviour' to each other. In a surreal setting, the author explores the interaction and emotions of a man, his wife and a young woman caught in a love triangle. Through their curious encounter, from which they cannot escape, the characters travel back and forth in time, each expressing their experience and singular perception of particular events. They learn about each other as they convey their most intimate thoughts and feelings, shedding all artifice in the process. In time, they realise that, as in all games, when the rules are broken, there are no clear-cut winners or losers.
Promises of Love and Good Behaviour edition by Roderick Craig Low Literature Fiction eBooks
Countless tales have been woven of the love triangle. It is the third party that sets the drama in motion, by destabilizing the pair. This worn old story never grows stale if the characters are richly conceived, the writing is beautiful, and the setting is of unusual interest.Roderick Craig Low's book succeeds on all counts.
James, a stolid British computer salesman is happily enough married to Jude, a comparatively free spirit. Game change arrives with the free-love "swinger" movement that beset bourgeois marriages in the late 60's. It's a wonderful paradox that it's Jude who embraces the open marriage concept (usually it was the male who was the more gung-ho, er, member). She promptly racks up a few sexual affairs, informing her husband of each one according to the then-popular trend of total honesty. James, on the other hand, is made for love only. The act of sex without love confounds him.
A business trip sends James to Prague during the repressive Communist era. There he falls deeply in love with a young, beautiful Czech colleague, Anezka. What next? Read this impeccable novel and find out.
The most original aspect of Low's book is his conceit of interweaving chapters that depict all three characters as pieces on a chessboard, 30 years later. They bicker, they remember, they analyze the past. In the end, "they will always stand apart. They will always stand together. And they will never be able to move on."

Promises of Love and Good Behaviour edition by Roderick Craig Low Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is a love story like no other. Yes, there is the usual love triangle but the characters and the setting are highly unique, quite original and fresh, and I could safely say that I’ve never read anything quite like it. I found it to be deeply moving and it stayed in my thoughts way after I finished the book and put it back on the shelf. I would highly recommend it. It will grip your heart.
For sure when the rules are broken there are no clear-cut winners or losers.
A lot of people are fearful of the consequences of leading and just follow along when they know they are unhappy. "You speak first!" she says. "Why?" asks the man. "Because!"
Sunday Saturday mornings in Hammersmith are very relaxed. But, that doesn't mean the people are also relaxed. For sure a love triangle is something none of us ever wants to be in. But what happens if one person in the marriage falls deeply in love with someone else? The author carefully crafts his story as if the reader is playing a game of strategy between the characters in this novel. What moves will these players make in this drama? I hope you read this tale and find out. It has opulent, interesting characters and is well-written. I believe it will hold your attention and make you want to keep reading.

I have to say that this story by author Roderick Low was so moving. I loved the emotion of this love story. Wow the way the author describes the love triangle with James and his love for his wife and then his colleague in Prague, he leads the reader into a very emotional and profound story of love. I really enjoyed reading this book .

I was really intrigued with this approach to the story as it is not your typical love story. There are three main characters that are caught in a love triangle, and the book is them telling their own story. So it is like the three characters are outside of time, standing around discussing what really happened between them, and what it all meant.
While most of the book is from the husband's perspective, we do get the opportunity to see things through the wife and mistress' eyes at times, giving a well-rounded understanding of everything.
This is the first time I have read a book that I don't entirely know what's going to happen in the next page. I try to imagine what the writer is trying to say, I always believe I 'know' how a story is going to end but reading 'Promises of Love and Good Behavior' threw my preconceived notions overboard.
The story is flawlessly written, a tale of love gone sour, infidelity, regret and open marriage was expertly told.
James 'loves' Jude, his wife of several years, who was strangely 'open' to the idea of having affairs. She embarks on a few, informed her husband of her 'loveless' encounters. James was dismayed, after all he believed in love, sex and love go hand in hand.
Events soon snowballed when James met a beautiful woman called Anezka on a work trip to Czech Republic and that was when love took on a new face.
I read the novel twice, it was that captivating, as I tried to delve deep into the characters' inner thoughts and the author helped, he deftly exposes the complexities of each character, their feelings, their fears, and their love.
A great read. I recommend it to everyone who loves a great love story, I can't wait to read 'Rewards and Dilemmas.'
