Most love stories are about people who not only love but like, respect and appreciation one another. "Forgeries of the Heart" is the exception. Its protagonist, a wealthy, sophisticated banker, with a seemingly ideal marriage, falls for a woman he despises, who hates what he loves, whose entire life is dedicated to devaluing what he values most. It is a commentary not only on the unexpected, almost lunatic byways of love, but on the fragility of happiness.
