Description: Bernard MacLavertyMidwinter BreakAn intense exploration of love and uncertainty when a long-married couple, Gerry and Stella, take a midwinter break in Amsterdam to refresh the senses, do some sightseeing and generally take stock of their lives. Their relationship seems easy, familiar - but over its course we discover the deep uncertainties between them.Gerry, once an architect, is forgetful and set in his ways. Stella is tired of his lifestyle and angry at his constant undermining of her religious faith. Things are not helped by memories that resurface of a troubled time in their native Ireland. As their vacation comes to an end, we understand how far apart they are - and can only watch as they struggle to save themselves.Bernard MacLaverty is a master storyteller, and this is the essential MacLaverty novel: compassionate observation, elegant writing and a heartrending story. It is also a profound examination of human love and how we live together - a chamber piece of resonance and power.Signed by Bernard MacLaverty to the title pageA fine copy of a first edition, first impression hardback in a near fine, unclipped dustjacket published - Jonathan Cape, 2017 All books are swathed in biodegradable bubble wrap and posted in strong, custom made book boxes to ensure undamaged delivery.
