Jessica Soffer: This Is a Love Story, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Just in time for Valentine's Day, Soffer's unapologetically romantic novel [tugs] at the heartstrings... goes down like bittersweet chocolate, with a hint of sugar to soften the sharp edge of loss' New York Times

'Delicate and beautiful ... What a gift' Ann Napolitano, bestselling author of Hello, Beautiful

'A revelation - the kind of novel to read in one sitting' Liz Moore, bestselling author ofThe God of the Woods

Abe and Jane have been together for fifty years: as two among the thousands of starry-eyed young lovers in Central Park, as frustrated and exhausted parents, as an artist and a writer whose careers were taking flight. Now, Jane is seriously unwell, and together she and Abe look back on their marriage - on the parts they cherished, and those they didn't: Abe's early betrayal; and the trials of raising their son Max, who, now grown, still believes his mother chose art over parenthood.

A homage to New York, to pleasure, loss and love that endures despite or perhaps because of what life throws at us, This Is a Love Story brings these layered voices together in a chorus as complex, radiant and captivating as the city itself.

'One of the best love stories I have read in a long time' 5-star NetGalley Review
