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.

When a senseless tragedy intrudes upon them, Lottie is forced to examine the consequences of what she has done for love. --- HILL TOWNS --- As a small child, a single event irrevocably changed the life of Catherine Gaillard -- and rendered her unable to leave her cloistered mountaintop town in Tennessee for the next 30 years. Her devotion to her husband, Joe, and her desire to forever put this incident behind her propel Cat on a life-changing voyage to Italy. . . . .Making their way across the Tuscany countryside in the company of newly married friends and an exuberant painter and his enigmatic wife, Cat and Joe feel the fabric that holds their marriage together -- so carefully woven together at home -- begin to unravel. The once-carefree trip turns into a journey to the very heart of their relationship. . .and the ultimate test of their love. . .See photos for additional content. . . Seller Inventory # 36660
