The Love Book
Author: Nina Solomon

"A compelling mix of story lines...plenty of good banter and characterization." — --Publishers Weekly — "The Love Book should come with a warning: Do not begin unless you can afford to finish it--today. I could not, and did not, put it down. A contemporary Jane Austen, Nina Solomon has written a smart and funny book about what it's like to be a wo... more »man, no longer young but not yet old and still single, looking for love in all the wrong places, only to find life. I laughed out loud so often I was downright downcast when I reached the last page and had to give up the good company of these wonderful characters and go back to looking at the world through my own eyes instead of Solomon's."

--Beverly Donofrio, author of Astonished: A Story of Healing and Finding Grace

"Malfunctioning GPS systems, ferrets, house fires, pet funerals, pink hotel rooms, and old crushes on bad boyfriends send these four spirited--and often dispirited--women looking for love in all the unexpected places. Like the eponymous book that guides the women?s quest for connection, The Love Book had me under its seductive spell. Filled with very funny and all-too-true moments of romantic humiliation, awkwardness, and revelation, this novel assures that love is out there waiting for us, even if the path to reach it can sometimes feel like a long hike through poison ivy."

--Hester Kaplan, author of Unravished

"Meet your new best friends: Emily, Max, Cathy, and Beatrice. From the hilariously disastrous rubble of a singles bike trip in France emerges the swift-moving story of a mysterious book that seems to have better plans for Nina Solomon's marvelously human characters than they may have for themselves. Sharp and thoughtful, funny and painfully real--my favorite kind of read."

--Elizabeth Crane, author of We Only Know So Much

The latest novel in Akashic's Kaylie Jones Books imprint.

It all starts when four unsuspecting women on a singles' bike trip through Normandy discover a mysterious red book about love. But did they discover it--or did the book bring them together? Magical words, spells, conjurations, and a little dose of synchronicity abound in The Love Book, an anti–rom com about the misadventures of four women who embark on a soul mate–seeking journey. Somehow The Love Book insinuates itself into their lives and has its way with them. But there is more than matchmaking afoot. The four women--Emily, Beatrice, Max, and Cathy--are each nudged, cajoled, inspired--perhaps "guided"--despite themselves, to discover love, fulfillment, and the true nature of what being a soul mate really means. While on the surface a lighthearted romp, the novel is a serious exploration of the difficulties women routinely encounter when their lives do not turn out the way society, their families, and they themselves may have planned.

Kaylie Jones is the award-winning author of five novels and a memoir. She teaches writing at two MFA programs and lives in New York City.
