So my heading is a spoiler alert, but what exciting news! Us by David Nicholls has been named a Top Ten Book of 2014 by Library Journal!
And no wonder what with the amazing praise this novel has been getting:
“For those who loved One Day, the author’s latest is another heart-grabber about discovering what makes us happy and learning to let go.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“Nicholls brings his trademark wit and wisdom to this by turns hilarious and heartbreaking examination of a long-term marriage…. This tender novel will further cement Nicholls’ reputation as a master of romantic comedy.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Nicholls is a master of the braided narrative, weaving the past and present to create an intricate whole…. A funny and moving novel.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
The story follows one man’s efforts to salvage his marriage—and repair his troubled relationship with his teenaged son—during the course of a trip around Europe. It is a Virginia Stanley favorite, and it's so incredibly relatable and beautifully written.
Us goes on sale October 28th and I would urge, encourage, literally put a copy in your hands if I could, you to snap up a copy asap.
