From internationally bestselling author Benedict Wells, a sweeping
novel of love and loss, and of the lives we never get to live
"[D]azzling storytelling...The End of Loneliness is both affecting
and accomplished -- and eternal." -John Irving "An exquisitely
wrought and utterly absorbing meditation upon life, loss and love."
-Ian McEwan Jules Moreau's childhood is shattered after the sudden
death of his parents. Enrolled in boarding school where he and his
siblings, Marty and Liz, are forced to live apart, the once
vivacious and fearless Jules retreats inward, preferring to live
within his memories - until he meets Alva, a kindred soul caught in
her own grief. Fifteen years pass and the siblings remain strangers
to one another, bound by tragedy and struggling to recover the
family they once were. Jules, still adrift, is anchored only by his
desires to be a writer and to reunite with Alva, who turned her
back on their friendship on the precipice of it becoming more. But,
just as it seems they can make amends for time wasted, invisible
forces - whether fate or chance - intervene. A kaleidoscopic family
saga told through the fractured lives of the three Moreau siblings,
alongside a faltering, recovering love story, The End of Loneliness
is a stunning meditation on the power of our memories, of what can
be lost and what can never be let go. With inimitable compassion
and luminous, affecting prose, Benedict Wells contends with what it
means to find a way through life, while never giving up hope you
will find someone to go with you.
