The Silver Linings Playbook is the riotous and poignant story of how one man regains his memory and comes to terms with the magnitude of his wife’s betrayal.

During the years he spends in a neural health facility, Pat Peoples formulates a theory about silver linings: he believes his life is a movie produced by God, his mission is to become physically fit and emotionally supportive, and his happy ending will be the return of his estranged wife, Nikki. When Pat goes to live with his parents, everything seems changed: no one will talk to him about Nikki; his old friends are saddled with families; the Philadelphia Eagles keep losing, making his father moody; and his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy.

When Pat meets the tragically widowed and clinically depressed Tiffany, she offers to act as a liaison between him and his wife, if only he will give up watching football, agree to perform in this year’s Dance Away Depression competition, and promise not to tell anyone about their “contract.” All the while, Pat keeps searching for his silver lining.

In this brilliantly written debut novel, Matthew Quick takes us inside Pat’s mind, deftly showing us the world from his distorted yet endearing perspective. The result is a touching and funny story that helps us look at both depression and love in a wonderfully refreshing way. </div></div>]]> 2889093 9 2915346 book 2 9 2008 The Silver Linings Playbook: A Novel total:186|5:45|4:82|3:46|2:10|1:3| 186 714 405 86 1251730 3.86 192 90 144425 3.70 47 14 33372886 187043 2889093 0374264260 9780374264260 83 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255909394m/2889093.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255909394s/2889093.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2889093.The_Silver_Linings_Playbook_A_Novel 3.84 182
