Description
Like Nicholas Sparks and Robert James Waller, first-time
novelist Peter Golden knows how to write the kind of nostalgic fiction that men
and women alike fall for. In Comeback Love, a universal story about lost
love, he offers an evocative debut that begins in the tumultuous 1960s and ends
in the feverish thrill of present-day New York City.
Over thirty-five
years ago, Gordon Meyers, an aspiring writer with a low number in the draft
lottery, packed his belongings and reluctantly drove away, leaving Glenna
Rising, the sexy, sharp-witted med student he couldn’t imagine living
without.
Now, decades later, Gordon is a former globetrotting consultant
with a grown son, an ex-wife, and an overwhelming desire to see Glenna again.
Stunned when Gordon walks into her Manhattan office, Glenna agrees to accompany
him for a drink. As the two head out into the snow-swept city, they become
caught up in the passions that drew them together before tearing them apart. And
as the evening unfolds, Gordon finally reveals the true reason for his
return.
Comeback Love is a bracing journey into the hearts of two
lovers who came of age in the 1960s. Plumbing the depths of youth, regret, and
desire, Peter Golden deftly illuminates the bonds that mysteriously endure in
the face of momentous change.
