Beschreibung

'My idea of a perfect book ... I cannot recommend it enough.' Jami Attenberg 'A luminous chronicle of betrayal, sacrifice and ambition' The Observer 'In this finger-trap puzzle of a plot, the pull of the past meets the pressures of the present' New York Times Carlisle Martin dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer like her mother Isabel. She only gets to see her father Robert, and his brilliant but troubled partner James, for a few precious weeks a year when she visits their enchanted apartment in Greenwich Village. James educates her in all that he holds dear in life: literature, music, and most of all, dance. As the years go by, Carlisle is desperate to be asked to stay permanently, even as AIDS brings devastation to their community. Instead, a passionate love affair creates a rift between them, with devastating consequences that reverberate for decades to come. Nineteen years later, Carlisle receives a phone call which unravels the fateful events of her life . . . They're Going to Love You is a gripping and gorgeously written novel of heartbreaking intensity. With psychological precision and a masterfully revealed secret at its heart, it asks what it takes to be an artist, and the price of forgiveness, of ambition, and of love. 'Feels like a commercial success in the waiting' The Times 'A deeply felt (late) coming of age tale about purpose and love' i 'A truly beautiful novel' Saga 'An elegant assemblée' Vanity Fair 'A taut, moving evocation of the love and hurt contained within families and the difficulty of forgiveness.'

Rezensionen

Howrey deftly jumps through decades and lives to write a taut, moving evocation of the love and hurt contained within families and the difficulty of forgiveness. Mail on Sunday

"Howrey's prose invites readers to feel the emotion of each dance, beautifully translating physical and visual art onto the page. [Her] incisive character studies create a heart-wrenching story of love and loss."
