Good Things I Wish You - A Novel

"A lyrical, haunting exploration of loves past and present. Witty, sprightly, surprising, this deeply original and utterly captivating new novel ... beguiles the senses and dazzles the heart. A beautiful book." --Diana Abu-Jaber "As the parallels between the two relationships multiply, the novel catches fire. . . . Ansay is a gifted and sure-handed storyteller." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel From the critically acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Vinegar Hill and Midnight Champagne comes a beautifully written story of two summer romances--one of a brilliant pianist, one of a struggling novelist--separated in time by nearly two centuries. If you enjoy the novels of Ann Patchett ( Bel Canto ), Claire Messud ( The Emperor''s Children ), and Lionel Shriver ( We Need to Talk About Kevin ), you''ll find much to love in A. Manette Ansay''s stunningly original Good Things I Wish You .
