false 1203363 1 A tragicomic novel about fading love and sudden death, falling for the wrong guy and forgiving your father-all over the course of one fateful spring.<P> <I>"When the man you love leaves you, a portion of your soul may wander into the bastions of hell, sift through the flames, run amok with the devil, and pray he dies. I know mine did."</I> Anjou Lovett was conceived under a pear tree one half-moon night in August 1965. Not much in her life has been quite as poetic since. Her father left five weeks before sister Stella was born and returns only to set in motion a pattern of coming and going that would define their family. With this sad, sordid history behind her, the thirty-two-year-old Anjou is unprepared for the entrance of handsome, successful Quinn into her life. But after two near-idyllic years together, he too comes home one day and says, "We need to talk about us." What follows is this emotionally honest, imaginative story of a woman confronting the demons of her past and the absurdities of her present. With Goldner's light and "uncommonly perceptive"(<I>New York Times Book Review</I>) touch, <I>The Number We End Up With</I> is both a page-turner and literary exploration of the power of forgiveness. 1191536 15 12 2005 The Number We End Up With total:22|5:2|4:10|3:9|2:1| 22 79 33 7 4 0 false true Thu Aug 11 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Sat Dec 13 22:15:09 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 22:15:35 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jul 05 09:41:30 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 09:43:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 10 09:09:10 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 11 11:11:42 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 23 16:27:59 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 23 16:27:59 -0700 2008
