Description
The acclaimed author of Happy All the Time charts the story of a whirlwind love affair of two people who are happily married (just not to each other)—from its fabulous inception to its inevitable end. • "Virtually flawless.... A tour de force." —Los Angeles Times
Billy and Francis couldn’t be more different, at least when it comes to age and disposition, but that doesn’t prevent them from falling in love and settling into the easy rhythms of romance—phone calls every morning, rendezvous every weekday afternoon, the odd out-of-town escape—despite both still being very partial to their spouses. In interconnected stories, Laurie Colwin deftly reveals each character’s point of view and examines, in razor-sharp detail, the “marvelous” and messy glory of modern love and the curious desires of the heart.
This whirlwind romance, perfectly captured in Colwinesque frank and funny style, is firm proof that opposites really do attract.
Commentaires
“These should be read one at a time, perhaps just before bed as a respite from an especially trying day.”—The New York Times
“Colwin is a bard of burgeoning adulthood.”—Rachel Syme, The New Yorker
“Colwin writes with such sunny skill, and such tireless enthusiasm. . . . One reads with fascination the steps by which lovers in one story after another stumble upon their forthright declarations.”—Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times Book Review
