THE LAKE SHORE LIMITED by Sue Miller

Three years after the death of her younger brother Gus, Leslie still thinks about what might have been: if Gus hadn't been on that plane on September 11th, if her husband understood the nature of her grief, if she had made different choices. As she sits down to watch The Lake Shore Limited, a disquieting autobiographical play written by Gus's former girlfriend, Billy, she can't help but wonder whether she holds onto the past, and whether she really knows Billy at all. Meanwhile, Sam, Leslie's divorced friend, finds in the play inescapable echoes of his troubled life and begins to fall for Billy's distinctive, enigmatic beauty.

A powerful love story, a mesmerising tale of entanglements, connections and inconsolable losses; a marvellous reflection on the meaning of grace and the uses of sorrow, in life and in art.

Soft cover, good condition. Slight foxing.
