For Love

By Sue Miller

Book Overview

"A tour de force by any standard." --Newsweek

"Miller writes with wisdom, compassion, and an almost palpable sense of reality about the ambiguous and difficult choices that . . . at one time or another, life demands of us." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A convergence of family and friends stirs memories of the past in New York Times bestselling author Sue Miller's novel about the beautiful, raging, and tragic yearning for romantic love.

After years of lives lived apart, Lottie Gardner, her brother, Cameron, and their old friend
Elizabeth reunite in their hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lottie has arrived to settle the estate of her elderly mother in decline. It's also a chance to slip away from a passionless marriage in jeopardy. What she longs for is the kind of heedless romance she sees in her brother's rekindled fling with his childhood sweetheart. But Elizabeth is in the throes of a marital crisis of her own. And when blind desire culminates in a senseless tragedy, Lottie, Cameron, and Elizabeth must confront the choices they've made for love.

Gripping, emotional,
and unexpected, For Love explores the inevitable reconciliation of the life you dream of when young and hopeful with the reality of the one you must abide.

Wonderfully written

Sue Miller manages to write very insightful novels. They are very informative about life. Compassion, angst and love, I love them all.

one of her best

this is my 4th sue miller book and it is my favorite. the main character is a flawed and complicated woman struggling to be in a committed relationship despite her fiercely independant nature. the story runs backwards in time which is really well done. it is an interesting look into people's inner worlds and how they define love.

I always enjoy Sue Miller's Novels

I have to say that I always enjoy Sue Miller's Novels. I always tend to feel close to the main characters. I trust her to give me the details of all the character's lives. Ok Sue if you read this could you please write me at Babz@Aol.com and tell me about Lottie. I am not sure what I was supposed to get from the end. Has Lottie found contentment with her life?I really enjoyed the book but I want to hear it from you. Is Lottie totally ok?Ok now to all you readers I am gonna tell you- my favorite writers are Sue Miller,Anne Tyler and Wally Lamb. hat do you guys think? Write me at Babz@aol.com and let me know what you think. Family pictures was one of my favorites. I am just about to start reading "THE DISTINDUISHED GUEST" AND I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
