George and Lizzie

From “America’s librarian” and NPR books commentator Nancy Pearl comes an emotionally riveting debut novel about an unlikely marriage at a crossroads.

George and Lizzie have radically different understandings of what love and marriage should be. George grew up in a warm and loving family—his father an orthodontist, his mother a stay-at-home mom—while Lizzie grew up as the only child of two famous psychologists, who viewed her more as an in-house experiment than a child to love.

Over the course of their marriage, nothing has changed—George is happy; Lizzie remains…unfulfilled. When a shameful secret from Lizzie’s past resurfaces, she’ll need to face her fears in order to accept the true nature of the relationship she and George have built over a decade together.

With pitch-perfect prose and compassion and humor to spare, George and Lizzie is an intimate story of new and past loves, the scars of childhood, and an imperfect marriage at its defining moments.

De la „bibliotecarul american” si comentatorul de carti NPR, Nancy Pearl vine dintr-un roman debutant emotionant despre o casatorie putin probabila la o rascruce de drumuri. George si Lizzie au intelegeri radical diferite despre ceea ce ar trebui sa fie dragostea si casatoria. George a crescut intr-o familie calda si iubitoare - tatal sau ortodont, mama lui o mama care sta acasa - in timp ce Lizzie a crescut ca singurul copil al a doi psihologi celebri, care o priveau mai mult ca un experiment intern decat un copil de iubit. Pe parcursul casatoriei lor, nimic nu s-a schimbat - George este fericit; Lizzie ramane ... neimplinita.
