Almost Life is an aching look at the choices we didn't make, and the lives we almost lived. I lost track of time inside these pages. --Josh Silver, New York Times bestselling author of Fruit Fly Two young women meet in Paris one sultry summer in a decades-spanning tour de force about the enduring power of young love and the poignant heartbreak of missed chances--perfect for fans of One Day and Normal People. Erica and Laure meet on the steps of the Sacré-Coeur in Paris, 1978. Erica is a student, relishing her first summer abroad before beginning university at home in England. Laure is studying for her PhD at the Sorbonne, drinking and smoking far too much, and sleeping with a married woman. The moment the two women meet, the spark is undeniable, but their encounter turns into far more than a summer of love. It is the beginning of a relationship that will define their lives and every decision they have yet to make... Erica and Laure's love story spans decades, marriage, children, secret trysts, and the agonizing changes--both personal and political--that might mean they can be together, after all. But when life brings them within touching distance again, will they be brave enough to seize a future together? Beautifully capturing young love and all its complexities, Almost Life is a story of longing for the paths not taken, and the almost lives we live.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/66/820/427/1668204274_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "29.00", "online_price" : "25.48", "our_price" : "25.48", "club_price" : "25.48", "savings_pct" : "12", "savings_amt" : "3.52", "club_savings_pct" : "12", "club_savings_amt" : "3.52", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "29.00" } }
