Following his two amazing short story collections, Mr. Van Booy's first novel has arrived!  This tale of three friends in Athens charts the joy and hearbreak of love, and the difficult task of finding the wherewithal to move forward and begin again.  Displaying an uncanny ability to convey emotions, spirituality and humanity within the simplest of sentences, Mr. Van Booy's skill with language and imagery is unparalleled -- this book is so finely written it will leave you breathless.  Highly recommended.
