As Johanna Thomas-Corr wrote in \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e (London): \"You don't so much read André Aciman's novels as tumble breathlessly into them.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRoom on the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, Aciman offers three heart-wrenching tales of amorous ambivalence, all of which unfold in his inimitably nostalgic style. \"The Gentleman from Peru\" tells the story of the life-changing encounter between a group of friends and an enigmatic solitary guest in a hotel on the Amalfi Coast. \"Room on the Sea\" is a dialogue between a man and a woman who meet on jury duty and embark on a complex relationship. \"Mariana\" is a modern retelling of a famous seventeenth-century novel about a love affair between a nun and a swashbuckling, unreliable aristocrat. Together, Aciman's novellas form a complex portrait of desire, and of love realized and lost.","brand":"André Aciman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47279943057644,"sku":"9781250437891","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781250437891.jpg?v=1770277572","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/room-on-the-sea-three-novellas-2","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
