SWEET SORROW - DAVID NICHOLLS KARTONIERT (TB)

A tale of first love that hits all the right notes . . . [it] just might be the sweetest book
to brighten your late summer. --The Washington Post Dazzles with wit.--People From the
bestselling author of One Day comes a bittersweet and brilliantly funny coming-of-age tale
about the heart-stopping thrill of first love--and how one summer can forever change a life.
Now: On the verge of marriage and a fresh start  thirty-eight year old Charlie Lewis finds that
he can't stop thinking about the past  and the events of one particular summer. Then:
Sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don't remember in the school photograph.
He's failing his classes. At home he looks after his depressed father--when surely it should be
the other way round--and if he thinks about the future at all  it is with a kind of dread. But
when Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself  Charlie begins to hope. In order to
spend time with Fran  Charlie must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his
friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the
Company sounds like a cult  the truth is even more appalling: The price of hope  it seems  is
Shakespeare  Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a theater troupe over the course of a
summer. Now: Charlie can't go the altar without coming to terms with his relationship with Fran
his friends  and his former self. Poignant  funny  enchanting  devastating  Sweet Sorrow is a
tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life  a celebration
of the reviving power of friendship and that brief  searing explosion of first love that can
only be looked at directly after it has burned out.
