'My idea of a perfect book ... I cannot recommend it enough.' Jami
Attenberg 'A luminous chronicle of betrayal, sacrifice and
ambition' The Observer 'In this finger-trap puzzle of a plot, the
pull of the past meets the pressures of the present' New York Times
Carlisle Martin dreams of becoming a professional ballet dancer
like her mother Isabel. She only gets to see her father Robert, and
his brilliant but troubled partner James, for a few precious weeks
a year when she visits their enchanted apartment in Greenwich
Village. James educates her in all that he holds dear in life:
literature, music, and most of all, dance. As the years go by,
Carlisle is desperate to be asked to stay permanently, even as AIDS
brings devastation to their community. Instead, a passionate love
affair creates a rift between them, with devastating consequences
that reverberate for decades to come. Nineteen years later,
Carlisle receives a phone call which unravels the fateful events of
her life . . . They're Going to Love You is a gripping and
gorgeously written novel of heartbreaking intensity. With
psychological precision and a masterfully revealed secret at its
heart, it asks what it takes to be an artist, and the price of
forgiveness, of ambition, and of love. 'Feels like a commercial
success in the waiting' The Times 'A deeply felt (late) coming of
age tale about purpose and love' i 'A truly beautiful novel' Saga
'An elegant assemblee' Vanity Fair 'A taut, moving evocation of the
love and hurt contained within families and the difficulty of
forgiveness.' Mail on Sunday
