| book description |

FROM THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF CALL ME BY YOUR NAME 'A top-notch beach read.' DAILY MAIL 'Absorbing.' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'The perfect escapist read.' INEWS Have you ever had the sense that maybe all lives are nothing more than the chronicle of countless stinging might-have-beens that continue to haunt us? In the scorching New York heat, a hundred people wait to be selected as jurors. Paul is reading a newspaper. Catherine is reading a novel. So begins a whirlwind flirtation: over cappuccinos in Manhattan and gallery trips to Chelsea, Paul and Catherine escape into the illusion of an Italian getaway. Their feelings quickly evolve into something deeper, something - as mature adults with lives of their own - Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret, with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the sultry summer week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past. Readers adore Room on the Sea: 'What a beautiful short novel . . . I savoured every page.' âââââ 'I'm a sucker for books that describe missed opportunities and longing. And here's another one who captures it perfectly.' âââââ 'Aciman really knows how to tune into that magical feeling of finding a soulmate.' âââââ
