This Is a Love Story

by Jessica Soffer

An intimate and lyrical celebration of great love, great art, and the sacrifices we make for both. An homage to New York City, to romance, and even to loss, This Is a Love Story tenderly and suspensefully captures deep truths about life and marriage in radiant prose. It is about love that endures despite what life throws at us, or perhaps even because of it.

Abe and Jane have been together for over 50 years and their special place has always been Central Park. When Jane is dying, Abe recounts their life together as a way to keep them connected. The story is told from various points of view.
