“A lyrical, haunting exploration of loves past and present. Witty, sprightly, surprising, this deeply original and utterly captivating new novel … beguiles the senses and dazzles the heart. A beautiful book.” —Diana Abu-Jaber
“As the parallels between the two relationships multiply, the novel catches fire. . . . Ansay is a gifted and sure-handed storyteller.” —
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
From the critically acclaimed
New York Times
bestselling author of
Vinegar Hill
and
Midnight Champagne
comes a beautifully written story of two summer romances—one of a brilliant pianist, one of a struggling novelist—separated in time by nearly two centuries. If you enjoy the novels of Ann Patchett (
Bel Canto
), Claire Messud (
The Emperor's Children
), and Lionel Shriver (
We Need to Talk About Kevin
), you’ll find much to love in A. Manette Ansay’s stunningly original
Good Things I Wish You
.
