A wonderful character-driven novel covering many years in the intertwined lives of a half-dozen characters, set in Italy and the U.S., involving a small-time movie actress, a would-be hotel owner in Italy, their quick meeting in 1962 and another decades later. It is therefore a love story but an oddly interrupted one, filled with interesting and frequently hilarious characters (the town's local Communist has a rifle but his wife has used it to stake up her garden plants). It even includes an amusing cameo by Richard Burton, fleeing from his duties while filming CLEOPRATRA and unwittingly putting in motion the events of the story in several lives. He thinks CLEOPATRA is a weird movie, by the way.
The #1 New York Times bestseller—Jess Walter’s “absolute masterpiece” (Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author): the story of an almost-love affair that begins on the Italian coast in 1962 and resurfaces fifty years later in contemporary Hollywood.
The acclaimed, award-winning author of the national bestseller The Financial Lives of the Poets returns with his funniest, most romantic, and most purely enjoyable novel yet. Hailed by critics and loved by readers of literary and historical fiction, Beautiful Ruins is the story of an almost-love affair that begins on the Italian coast in 1962...and is rekindled in Hollywood fifty years later.
It is April 1st, 2038. Day 60 of China's blockade of the rebel island of Taiwan.
The US government has agreed to provide Taiwan with a weapons system so advanced that it can disrupt the balance of power in the region. But what pilot would be crazy enough to run…
It is a beautiful story about a widower trying to look after his daughter, not entirely aware of the irony that she is really taking care of him. The plot tension is generated and propelled by the appearance of an abandoned infant, found after a carnival. Well, where else would we expect an infant to show up? Dr. Troy and his daughter Ronnie are lovable characters, beset by their need to care for one another. The doctor wants to find a husband for Ronnie and manages to find the most unlikely candidate. The question then becomes whether Ronnie will brain her father with a skillet. And then there is what to do with the baby?
As in all his books, Williams is a lovely stylist, frequently extremely funny though not quite so laugh-out-loud funny here as he was in THIS IS HAPPINESS, a novel in which the Troys are characters.
