Overview
Even death can’t break the bond between father and son in an uncannily funny and poignant novel about love, loss, memory, and family by Marc Levy, the bestselling author of P.S. from Paris.
There’s nothing too unusual about a father asking his son for a favor—unless, of course, the father in question has been dead for five years.
Thomas, a young virtuoso pianist living a quiet, carefully structured life in France, is stunned when his late father, Raymond, suddenly appears in his home. He’s not a ghost in the traditional sense—he’s real enough to ask for help. His request? That Thomas travel with him to San Francisco to find Camille, the long-lost love of his life.
For Thomas, it’s as surreal as it sounds. And yet…it might be his last-in-a-lifetime chance to know his father as a man and to square the regrets of the past. Together they embark on a five-thousand-mile journey that questions the very nature of existence, proves that love never fades, and rekindles the curious, heart-tugging bond between a parent and child that somehow endures beyond death.
Review
I so enjoyed this tale. It is funny and touching all at the same time.
Thomas, a young virtuoso pianist living a quiet, carefully structured life in France, is stunned when his late father, Raymond, suddenly appears in his home. He’s not a ghost in the traditional sense—he’s real enough to ask for help. His request? That Thomas travel with him to San Francisco to find Camille, the long-lost love of his life.
When Thomas took a hit off of a joint in his mother’s desk, then saw his dead father, I could not help but die out laughing. This is the best scene in the whole book. And there are quite a few good ones.
The relationship between father and son sneaks up on the reader. You think this is a tale of lost love. It is so much more than that. This story takes you on a wild ride you will not soon forget. And to be honest, I did not know if Thomas was crazy or if he was really seeing his deceased dad. You need to read this to find out!
The narrator, Simon Mattacks, could not have been better. He had Raymond and Thomas down pat!
Need a story about a father and a son, a ghost story, a love story rolled all into one…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
