Coming in 2024 from Rainbow Rowell, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eleanor & Park, a novel of love and true friendship 'A powerful and poignant tale of first love . . . Rich, real, and emotionally raw, this satisfying contemporary is sure to impress' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Everybody thought Shiloh and Cary would end up together - everybody but Shiloh and Cary. Slow Dance follows these star-crossed best friends from their inseparable teen years on the wrong side of the tracks to their far-flung adulthoods - through her marriage and motherhood and his time in the Navy - as they try to work out what they're actually supposed to be to each other. Told with Rowell's trademark sensitivity and abundant wit, Slow Dance is a big, beaming power ballad of a novel about a love so true, it refuses to be forgotten.
Autorenporträt
The New York Times once called Rainbow Rowell 'talented enough to be uncategorizable.' She writes novels, comics, short stories . . . She's a #1 New York Times bestseller several times over, wrote an Indies Choice Book of the Year, and is a three-time Goodreads Choice Award winner. The thread that runs through all Rowell's work is her sunlit, knife-sharp empathy and unflagging sense of humor. She writes about life - and usually love - in a way that feels painfully, wonderfully real. Visit rainbowrowell.com to learn more.
Rezensionen
"Who can deny the absolute, dizzy pleasure of loving a novel so much that you cannot bear to put it down, that you want to do nothing but keep flipping pages, that you want to immerse yourself fully and not come up for air until you are finished. I read Slow Dance in just that way, breathless and weeping. There is no one better than Rainbow at creating flawed, deeply human people. I loved every page of Slow Dance, a book that is romantic to its core, and as funny and smart as its wonderful characters."
- Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author

"Deeply human, profoundly romantic. Rowell tackles the challenges of love lost and rediscovered with nuance and candor. She will break your heart and you'll thank her for it."
- Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author

"Rich, real, and emotionally raw, this satisfying contemporary is sure to impress." - Publishers Weekly

"Rowell pulls off this impossible premise with great charm, and her depictions of the couple's sweet courtship and their later compromise-filled marriage are equally unsentimental and knowing." - The New Yorker on Landline

"Rowell is talented enough to be uncategorizable. . . . Landline belongs to a genre of its very own." - New York Times

"Her writing swings from profane to profound, but it's always real and always raw." - NPR on Eleanor & Park

"The funny, wised-up dialogue, the tumultuous, sweet, and sexy love story is grade-A Rowell . . . a book that readers will find almost impossible to put down." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Carry On

"Perfectly mixing sweet romance with deliciously tart wit, Rowell's literary debut is a complete charmer." - Chicago Tribune on Attachments
