The acclaimed author of Happy All the Time charts the story of a whirlwind love affair of two
people who are happily married (just not to each other) from its fabulous inception to its
inevitable end. Virtually flawless.... A tour de force. Los Angeles Times 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 marvelous 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 oppositesreally do
attract.
