Publisher's Summary
In the vein of Jennifer Egan and Elizabeth Strout's novels, I'LL COME TO YOU chronicles the life of one family over the course of one year - 1995 - through monthly stories, anchored by the anticipation and arrival of a child. Intersecting narratives involve a couple whose struggle to become pregnant has both softened and hardened them in unexpected ways, a woman whose husband of forty years has left her for reasons he’s unwilling to share and the man who is now disastrously attempting to woo her, a wife in denial about her husband’s looming health crisis, and their son who is fumbling toward middle age and can’t stop lying. With humor, heart and grit, these characters persevere through circumstances that both challenge and define the bonds of family.
I’LL COME TO YOU explores themes of intimacy, memory, loss, grief and reconciliation, and the wonder, terror, frustration, fear, and magic of brushing up against the unknowable – both around us and within us.
