For Love by Sue Miller
Lottie is relieved to have escaped to her mother's house for the summer because her second marriage, barely begun, is in trouble. Also at home is Cameron, Lottie's brother, who has been in love with their neighbour Elizabeth since high school. Elizabeth is married with three children but now, finally, Elizabeth and Cameron embark on a passionate affair. But as Lottie, Cameron and Elizabeth are reunited, a senseless tragedy befalls them.
'A tour de force by any standards One reason for Miller's popularity is that she earns her fans in a time-honoured way: she writes for readers' Newsweek 'Each of her characters is complete and distinctive, a compendium of lovable and exasperating traits Each character has a turn at capturing our full attention' Los Angeles Times 'Miller's special brand of intelligent emotionalism reaches its zenith here: it's deep, resonant, splendid' Kirkus Review 'For Love may be the most honest twentieth-century love story we've had in a while Sue Miller maps emotional terrain carefull, precisely, graphically, with a grit and grace that at first invite the reader's appreciation - and then, before we know it, have us involved a vivid allegory for all the harm that love can bring' New York Times Book Review
