This week's anticipated book:
Publisher: Touchstone, A Division of Simon & Schuster
Publication date: June 10, 2014
From barnesandnoble.com: Where’d You Go, Bernadette meets Beautiful Ruins
in this reverse love story set in Paris and London about a failed
monogamist’s attempts to answer the question: Is it really possible to
fall back in love?
Despite the success of his first
solo show in Paris and the support of his brilliant French wife and
young daughter, thirty-four-year-old British artist Richard Haddon is
too busy mourning the loss of his American mistress to a famous cutlery
designer to appreciate his fortune.
But after Richard discovers that a
painting he originally made for his wife, Anne—when they were first
married and deeply in love—has sold, it shocks him back to reality and
he resolves to reinvest wholeheartedly in his family life . . . just in
time for his wife to learn the extent of his affair. Rudderless and remorseful, Richard embarks on a series of misguided attempts to win
Anne back while focusing his creative energy on a provocative art piece
to prove that he’s still the man she once loved.
Skillfully balancing biting wit
with a deep emotional undercurrent, debut novelist Courtney Maum has
created the perfect portrait of an imperfect family—and a heartfelt
exploration of marriage, love, and fidelity.
