[it] just might be the sweetest book to brighten your late summer. -The Washington Post\"Dazzles with wit.-PeopleFrom the bestselling author of One Day comes a bittersweet and brilliantly funny coming-of-age tale about the heart-stopping thrill of first love-and how one summer can forever change a life.Now: On the verge of marriage and a fresh start, thirty-eight year old Charlie Lewis finds that he cant stop thinking about the past, and the events of one particular summer.Then: Sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you dont remember in the school photograph. Hes failing his classes. At home he looks after his depressed father-when surely it should be the other way round-and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.But when Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.In order to spend time with Fran, Charlie must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling: The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a theater troupe over the course of a summer.Now: Charlie cant go the altar without coming to terms with his relationship with Fran, his friends, and his former self. Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536280551712,"sku":"NEW0358248361","price":13.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/615jjOtB-3L_6946b744-beb7-4ce5-8ac4-aa145a483ea9.jpg?v=1777411563","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sweet-sorrow-a-novel-0358248361","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
