Produktbeschreibung

FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CALL ME BY YOUR NAME 'You don't so much read André Aciman's novels as tumble breathlessly into them.' THE TIMES Have you ever had the sense that maybe all lives are nothing more than the chronicle of countless stinging might-have-beens that continue to haunt us? In the scorching New York heat, a hundred people wait to be selected as jurors. Paul is reading a newspaper. Catherine is reading a novel. So begins a whirlwind flirtation: over cappuccinos in Manhattan and gallery trips to Chelsea, Paul and Catherine escape into the illusion of an Italian getaway. Their feelings quickly evolve into something deeper, something - as mature adults with lives of their own - Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret, with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the sultry summer week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past. Readers adore Room on the Sea: 'What a beautiful short novel... I savoured every page.' ¿¿¿¿¿ 'I'm a sucker for books that describe missed opportunities and longing. And here's another one who captures it perfectly.' ¿¿¿¿¿ 'Aciman really knows how to tune into that magical feeling of finding a soulmate.' ¿¿¿¿¿

Rezensionen

"Through subtle observations and gentle narrative arcs, [Aciman] maintains that crushes and heartaches are as urgent as any of the crises that face us." -Sumaiya Aftab Ahmed, The Washington Post

"A triptych of novellas rooted in the same sweetly painful intimacies. The three stories collected in Room on the Sea all concern the kinds of quiet, complex love that refuse to fit neatly on a greeting card." -Colin Dwyer, NPR

"Room on the Sea is wise and luminous, exploring the tender, elusive space between what was and what might still be." -Paula McLain, Charleston City Paper

"When reading Aciman, you simultaneously feel the expansive possibility of life and the looming prospect of choice that will dictate that life. Room on the Sea is no exception." -Molly B. Nash, Chicago Review of Books

"This exquisite triptych from Aciman explores desire and fate among old friends, new acquaintances, and heartbroken lovers . . . A triumph." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Count on Aciman for stories filled with love, lust, loss, and not a small measure of regret. These beguiling novellas offer up all of that in spades." -Barbara Love, Library Journal (starred review)
