The Trio

Description

Elegant, reflective and sumptuously atmospheric, The Trio is a debut novel about three young lovers navigating the risks and possibilities of intimacy.

Hugo has lived in New York for many years, mostly alone, when he receives an unexpected visit from a young woman. She is the daughter of two strangers he once knew very well, in a beautiful city he once called home. The young woman has come to ask him about her parents, about the past. And as Hugo sits across the table from her, still afraid after all these years, the memories rise to the surface, as luminous and intoxicating as ever...

From New York to Stockholm, Paris to Berlin and Belsize Park to Brighton Pier, Johanna Hedman traces the restless choreography of a love triangle. Bittersweet and euphoric, The Trio is an instant classic—a novel about the path not taken, the people we might have become and the relationships that haunt us long after they have ended.
