Description
From the acclaimed author of In Your Hands comes a heartrending novel about the struggle to hold on to what you've lost, and knowing when it's time to let go.
In this keenly observant dissection of a love affair in limbo, award-winning author Ines Pedrosa masterfully draws readers into the feverish, unsparing dual confessions of a man and a woman who are finally baring their hearts, souls, fury, and grief over a relationship that was abruptly shattered and never forgotten. Until now, there was so much between them left unspoken.
With each new unguarded, darkly funny, and emotional disclosure, they're brought back together-though impossibly so. Through the intimate voices of these unforgettable narrators unfolds a remarkable love story of regret and reconciliation, of loss and wrenching truths, told across lines few have ever considered crossing.
Praised by the New York Times for the "incantatory prose . . . absorbing in its history, as well as in its family dynamics" of her multigenerational saga In Your Hands, Pedrosa casts a seductive new spell with Still I Miss You, her second novel to be translated into English.
