Number one best-seller Jane Green - author of ''The
Beach House'' and ''Spellbound'' - explores changes in
relationships when a family member is struck with
illness in her heartbreaking novel ''The Love Verb''.
Love means being there - through everything. Everyone in
Callie's family is busy; her sister is a free-spirited
Manhattan chef, her best friend Lila is coping with the
vitriol of her new man's ex-wife, and her parents,
Walter and Honor, have rich though separate lives. But
when Callie discovers the breast cancer she thought
she'd beaten has returned, they all find that their
lives shift to focus on caring for Callie. ''A
beautifully written and intensely sad lesson in what it
really means to love someone you know you're going to
lose.'' (''Daily Telegraph''). ''Stylish, wickedly
insightful...family, friends and love is truly,
heartwrenchingly tested.'' (''Mirror''). ''A moving
account of a family faced with a heartbreaking
situation. I defy anyone to get through to the end
without crying.'' (''Sunday Express''). Jane Green's
internationally best-selling novels, including ''The
Other Woman'', ''Jemima J.'', ''Babyville'', ''The
Patchwork Marriage'' (published as ''Another Piece of My
Heart'' in the USA), ''Girl Friday (Dune Road)'', ''Life
Swap (Swapping Lives)'', ''Second Chance'', ''Straight
Talking'', ''Mr. Maybe'', and ''Bookends'', are moving
and true to life. ''The Love Verb'' is published as
''Promises to Keep'' in the USA. |
