Another Marvelous Thing

Laurie Colwin

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 'marvellous' 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 opposites really do attract.

'Seriously wise, seriously wonderful, seriously comic - your life will be richer for it' Katherine Heiny

Guido and Vicent - third cousins and best friends - spend their time lolling around and wondering who they will marry.

Then, one wet Sunday afternoon in a museum, Gudio meets Holly. Precise about everything, Holly knows what she likes: pressed sheets, tea on a tray - and now, Guido.

Soon after, Vincent falls for his misanthropic new colleague, Misty. She seems completely uninterested in love, until she agrees to go to dinner with Vincent.

This exquisitely well-written and much-beloved novel follows the two couples through courtship, arguments, wedding plans and other perils, as they find a way to be happy (almost) all the time.

A W&N Essential with an introduction from Katherine Heiny
