Librarian Nancy Pearl knows lust. Her Book Lust followed by More Book Lust and Book Lust to Go have fanned the flames of a red-hot passion for reading everywhere. Now Seattle’s celebrated librarian shares a novel of her own: witty, intelligent George & Lizzie, her first foray into fiction.
" An homage to true love, painful childhood experiences, and emotional scars that last a lifetime. It's a story of forgiveness, especially for one's self....sensitive and entertaining" says The Washington Post.
George & Lizzie is an emotionally riveting novel about an unlikely marriage at a crossroads.
George and Lizzie have radically different understandings of what love and marriage should be. George grew up in a warm and loving family, while Lizzie grew up as the only child of two famous psychologists, who viewed her more as an in-house experiment than a child to love. They are an odd couple: George relentlessly positive; Lizzie, a self-doubter and kvetcher.
A decade into their marriage, George is happy; Lizzie remains...unfulfilled. When a shameful secret from Lizzie's past resurfaces, she'll need to face her fears in order to accept the true nature of the relationship she and George have built together.
With pitch-perfect prose and compassion and humor to spare, George and Lizzie is an intimate story of new and past loves, the scars of childhood, and an imperfect marriage at its defining moments.
"It’s a fun read," says the Seattle Times, "contrasting personalities that are deliberately extreme in order to deliver a simple point: Compatibility in marriage has less to do with common personality traits than it does recognizing how much the other person means to you, whatever the reason."
