About this title

Review:

'A tour de force by any standards One reason for Miller's popularity is that she earns her fans in a time-honoured way: she writes for readers' Newsweek 'Each of her characters is complete and distinctive, a compendium of lovable and exasperating traits Each character has a turn at capturing our full attention' Los Angeles Times 'Miller's special brand of intelligent emotionalism reaches its zenith here: it's deep, resonant, splendid' Kirkus Review 'For Love may be the most honest twentieth-century love story we've had in a while Sue Miller maps emotional terrain carefull, precisely, graphically, with a grit and grace that at first invite the reader's appreciation - and then, before we know it, have us involved a vivid allegory for all the harm that love can bring' New York Times Book Review

From the Back Cover:

For Love tells the story of Lottie Gardner, her brother Cameron, and their childhood friend Elizabeth, who all come together one summer in their hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts, after years of separation. The packing up of her mother's house and the rekindling of the romance between Cameron and Elizabeth lead Lottie to look back at her past, as well as to consider the future of her own new marriage. The intrusion of a senseless tragedy upon the lives of all three characters forces Lottie to examine the consequences of the things she herself has done, and will do, for love.
