Then: three brilliantly realized voices—the boy’s mother, his older sister, a German expat neighbor—speak the story into existence. Their descriptions of the aftermath of the boy’s death mix with meditations and conversations about other loves tested, twisted, or lost—in the past and forward, through the next forty years—as they struggle to make sense of tragedy: the boy’s, their own, their countries’.

In Sissy, the mother, we see how the desperate love of her husband and the delicate bravery of her daughter lure her away from her profound grief. In Thomas—“the German” to his neighbors—we see a man who knows all too well that “after a tragedy, many survivors are lost.” In Olivia, the boy’s sister, we see someone who remains intent on embracing the “weapon of memory.”

These voices speak with piercing emotion and intellect and, in Josephine Hart’s deft hands, they describe whole lives. Moment by moment we come to understand how these men and women are shaped in essential ways by the boy’s death, by their inherent characters, and by what they learn from one another about loss and love—and what it takes to bear them both.]]> 0 0 false Thu Dec 03 03:10:21 -0800 2009 Thu Dec 03 03:10:21 -0800 2009 79077657 136334 6293171 1844085600 9781844085606 4 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6293171.The_Truth_About_Love 2.77 13 0 0 false Thu Nov 26 18:31:06 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 18:31:06 -0800 2009 78940555 2732634 6293171 1844085600 9781844085606 4 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6293171.The_Truth_About_Love 2.77 13 3 0 false Wed Nov 25 06:42:51 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 06:42:51 -0800 2009 78805674 2942396 6293171 1844085600 9781844085606 4 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6293171.The_Truth_About_Love 2.77 13 0 0 false Mon Nov 23 19:18:19 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 23 19:18:19 -0800 2009 78319379 1157133 6293171 1844085600 9781844085606 4 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6293171.The_Truth_About_Love 2.77 13 0 0 false Thu Nov 19 09:13:55 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 09:13:55 -0800 2009 78013384 1810121 6293171 1844085600 9781844085606 4 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6293171.The_Truth_About_Love 2.77 13 0 0 false Mon Nov 16 16:57:48 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 16:57:48 -0800 2009 77662086 2859649 6293171 1844085600 9781844085606 4 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6293171.The_Truth_About_Love 2.77 13 3 0 false Fri Nov 13 11:18:58 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 11:18:58 -0800 2009 77059772 1494080 6293171 1844085600 9781844085606 4 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6293171.The_Truth_About_Love 2.77 13 0 0 false Sat Nov 07 19:04:29 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 19:05:39 -0800 2009 76881071 970596 6017682 0307272613 9780307272614 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6017682.The_Truth_About_Love 3.00 4
