This Is a Love Story

Praise

“It’s an ode to a marriage, but also to Central Park itself.”
—Town & Country

“Soffer’s writing is simple yet poetic. Most impressive is her ability to capture the depths of emotions of all her characters while rooting readers in such a strong sense of place…A New York love story at its finest.”
—Library Journal

“Written with delicate and beautiful brush strokes, this is a love story of a long marriage, a love story of Central Park, a story of how hard life can be, and how the hard leaves its mark, but the love does too. Every once in a while I read a novel and think, What a gift. This is one of those books.”
—Ann Napolitano, New York Times bestselling author of Hello Beautiful and Dear Edward

“This Is A Love Story is Jessica Soffer’s iridescent, kaleidoscopic, homerun of a novel. It’s a beautiful book of seasons, marking the cycles of a city, a family, the creative process, and a single and singular life.”
—Nathan Englander, New York Times bestselling author of Dinner at the Center of the Earth

“This Is A Love Story is a revelation—the kind of novel to read in one sitting. It performs the magic trick of being a highly specific story that feels universal and timeless. When you finish, you’ll find that your worldview has been gently and deftly altered by an author whose tenderness toward her characters—and toward language itself—is unparalleled.”
—Liz Moore, bestselling author of Long Bright River and The God of the Woods

“With her lyrical, graceful novel of love and art, Jessica Soffer has captured the glittering magic of New York City.”
—Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street
