LAURIE COLWIN is the author of five novels, Happy All the Time, Family Happiness, Goodbye Without Leaving, A Big Storm Knocked It Over, and Shine On, Bright and Dangerous Object; three collections of short stories, Passion and Affect, The Lone Pilgrim, and Another Marvelous Thing; and two collections of essays, Home Cooking and More Home Cooking. Colwin died in 1992.
The acclaimed author of Happy All the Time charts the story of a whirlwind love affair of two people who are happily married (just not to each other) from its fabulous inception to its inevitable end. "Virtually flawless.... A tour de force." Los Angeles Times
Billy and Francis couldn t be more different, at least when it comes to age and disposition, but that doesn t prevent them from falling in love and settling into the easy rhythms of romance phone calls every morning, rendezvous every weekday afternoon, the odd out-of-town escape despite both still being very partial to their spouses. In interconnected stories, Laurie Colwin deftly reveals each character s point of view and examines, in razor-sharp detail, the marvelous and messy glory of modern love and the curious desires of the heart.
This whirlwind romance, perfectly captured in Colwinesque frank and funny style, is firm proof that oppositesreally do attract.
