Because that's the best way I can describe this book. I'm going to need some time to process this one!' 5-star NetGalley Review'Lyrical, graceful - Jessica Soffer has captured the glittering magic of New York City' Jenny Jackson, NYT-bestselling author of Pineapple Street'A revelation - the kind of novel to read in one sitting' Liz Moore, bestselling author of The God of the WoodsAbe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelf-Made.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063944147272,"sku":"9781805224921","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/1260\/5000\/files\/9781805224921_b8963f16-34f2-4a71-b4fe-e4fbfc39e7d7.jpg?v=1764087130","url":"https:\/\/shelfmadebooks.com\/products\/9781805224921","provider":"Shelf-Made.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
