Description
Maybe we love people because they won't let us know them.
A summer's evening in Manhattan. Nothing—not cold drinks, showers, or a stroll through the chilly aisles of an all-night drugstore—can undo the heat's hold on the city. Julian is half watching the evening news, his partner filling the dishwasher. That's when it arrives. An email with the subject line: 'From Paul Axel'. An email about a dead man from Chloe—a woman Julian has never met. Paul has left a message he'd like her to relay.
Emails are exchanged. Morning coffee at the Bryant Park Grill is agreed. Chloe, fulfilling Paul's final request, wonders how she will tell Julian of a life—and a love—he has no idea existed. A life, encased in a flash drive, containing multitudes.
Aciman writes with an aching sensitivity. - John Boyne, Irish Times
