Daniel Carter, a man defined by the quiet rhythm of academic life and the recent silence of a departed marriage, finds his meticulously curated world disrupted by the vibrant chaos of Isabelle "Izzy" Laurant.
At fifty-something, Daniel, a literature professor, prefers the company of classic novels to unpredictable people. But when Izzy, a former jazz singer with a laugh as warm as the coffee she now serves, opens her spirited caf just blocks from his university, their paths-and lives-irrevocably collide.
Izzy, equally in her fifties, has built a life as colourful and improvisational as her past performances.
She sees a spark beneath Daniel's reserved exterior, a melody waiting to be sung. As the scent of her artisanal brews mingles with the dusty aroma of his ancient texts, an unlikely friendship begins to brew. Can a man accustomed to the predictable narratives of fiction embrace the messy, beautiful improvisation of real life? And can a woman who has always moved to her own beat find harmony with a soul as steady and profound as a well-loved poem?
A Night of Love is a heartwarming tale about finding unexpected connections, rediscovering forgotten passions, and proving that the most beautiful stories are often the ones we never saw coming.
