time or another, life demands of us." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A convergence of family and friends stirs memories of the past in New
York Times bestselling author Sue Miller's novel about the beautiful,
raging, and tragic yearning for romantic love.
After years of lives lived apart, Lottie Gardner, her brother, Cameron,
and their old friend Elizabeth reunite in their hometown of Cambridge,
Massachusetts. Lottie has arrived to settle the estate of her elderly
mother in decline. It's also a chance to slip away from a passionless
marriage in jeopardy. What she longs for is the kind of heedless romance
she sees in her brother's rekindled fling with his childhood sweetheart.
But Elizabeth is in the throes of a marital crisis of her own. And when
blind desire culminates in a senseless tragedy, Lottie, Cameron, and
Elizabeth must confront the choices they've made for love.
Gripping, emotional, and unexpected, For Love explores the inevitable
reconciliation of the life you dream of when young and hopeful with the
reality of the one you must abide.
