Delicate and beautiful ... What a gift – Ann Napolitano, bestselling author of Hello, Beautiful

A revelation - the kind of novel to read in one sitting – Liz Moore, bestselling author of The God of the Woods

Abe 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.

One of the best love stories I have read in a long time – 5-star NetGalley Review
