Synopsis

David Nicholls brings the wit and intelligence that graced his enormously popular New York Times bestseller One Day to a compelling, deftly humorous new novel about what holds marriages and families together and what happens when everything threatens to fall apart.Us is the story of Douglas, a husband and father whose life turns upside-down when his wife of three decades tells him she wants a divorce. Will a long-planned family trip to Europe give him one last chance to rescue his relationship with the woman he loves, and learn how to get closer to a son who's always felt like a stranger?"

"David Nicholls's latest... is a smartly optimistic romantic comedy that uses angst and humor to illuminate the resilience of the human heart....

"Us is a quick read but a charming one; a portrait of two journeys--one measured in kilometers, the other in the heart."--Seattle Times
