William Boyd Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth Paperback Book

A philandering art dealer tries to give up casual love affairs seeking only passionate kisses as a substitute. A man recounts his personal history through the things he has stolen from others throughout his life. A couple chart the journey of their five year relationship backwards, from awkward reunion to lovelorn first encounter. And, at the heart of the book, a 24year old young woman, Bethany Mellmoth, embarks on a yearlong journey of wishful and tentative selfdiscovery. The Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth depicts the random encounters that bring the past bubbling to the surface the impulsive decisions that irrevocably shape a life and the endless hesitations and lossofnerve that wickedly complicate it. These funny, surprising and moving stories are a resounding confirmation of Boyds powers as one of our most original and compelling storytellers. | William Boyd Dreams of Bethany Mellmoth Paperback Book
