I could not, and did not, put it down. A contemporary Jane Austen, Nina Solomon has written a smart and funny book about what it's like to be a woman, no longer young but not yet old and still single, looking for love in all the wrong places, only to find life. I laughed out loud so often I was downright downcast when I reached the last page and had to give up the good company of these wonderful characters and go back to looking at the world through my own eyes instead of Solomon's.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003cb\u003eBeverly Donofrio\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eAstonished: A Story of Healing and Finding Grace\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe latest novel in Akashic's Kaylie Jones Books imprint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt all starts when four unsuspecting women on a singles' bike trip through Normandy discover a mysterious red book about love. But did they discover it--or did the book bring them together? Magical words, spells, conjurations, and a little dose of synchronicity abound in \u003ci\u003eThe Love Book\u003c\/i\u003e, an anti–rom com about the misadventures of four women who embark on a soul mate–seeking journey. Somehow \u003ci\u003eThe Love Book\u003c\/i\u003e insinuates itself into their lives and has its way with them. But there is more than matchmaking afoot. The four women--Emily, Beatrice, Max, and Cathy--are each nudged, cajoled, inspired--perhaps \"guided\"--despite themselves, to discover love, fulfillment, and the true nature of what being a soul mate really means. While on the surface a lighthearted romp, the novel is a serious exploration of the difficulties women routinely encounter when their lives do not turn out the way society, their families, and they themselves may have planned.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Afzal Nasiri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47113626616048,"sku":"9781617753374","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781617753374_p0.jpg?v=1769904925","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781617753374","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
