Publisher Description
Jonathan Lott is confused. His wife has left him for a woman and he doesn't like living alone. Is it true that an about-to-be-divorced man in possession of a good fortune is in need of a new wife? Would Penny Collins do, divorced herself, school teacher and frustrated artist? What about beautiful Anna, blown in from who knows where, trailing broken marriages behind her? There's a lot happening at The Landing, where Jonathan has his beach house, and he's about to find out how much love matters.
Susan Johnson's stunning new novel, written with her trademark wit and insight, brilliantly observes what it is to be human and to love: the betrayals, the long and the short alliances, the disappointments and the joys. The Landing celebrates all of it with verve and style.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We happily lost hours to this terrific novel, by a major Australian talent. Susan Johnson—the author of Flying Lessons and My Hundred Lovers—surveys the lives of several middle-age characters with stakes in a desirable beach community north of Brisbane. Johnson cares deeply for her characters, detailing their foibles, insecurities, desires and finest emotions with warmth and wit. The Landing is a story about lost love, second chances and the unexpected gifts of maturity.
