Publisher Description
How can you live an honest life when every choice you make is full of regret?
Leila and Matt thought they had it all figured out. They were teenage sweethearts, victims of a heady young love and a whirlwind summer wedding, but after ten years of comfortable domesticity, their cozy life was smashed wide open by the standard thing: another man.
No big deal. Temptation happens to everyone, doesn't it?
Leila has so many reasons not to leave her husband for Corbin Green, hunky college professor with part-time groundings, wandering scholar and kindred spirit. Corbin is magnetic yet unreliable in every way. The problem is: her stupid heart doesn't care about the reasons.
As Leila and Corbin's innocent new friendship quickly turns into an intense and irreplaceable bond, Leila is haunted by everything she's held responsible for—the years, the futures, the tragedies, the children, the friendships, the mistakes, and the promises. Any way she chooses, something precious will be lost.
The Fish and the Bird is a complicated and tender love story about three people who are bound by their promises and all the other lives caught up in their wake. For fans of intense literary fiction and realistic romance that reaches you all the way to your stupid, stupid heart.
Customer Reviews
Loved it!
I’ve loved these characters (and all your other ones from LH) for so long, and I’m so glad I finally got to find out what happened.
This book encompasses everything I’ve ever loved about your writing - it flows perfectly, it’s not pretentious, and it left me feeling like I know Matt (I feel like I already had a good grasp on L&C’s characters from LH) so much better, what makes him tick and how his brain works. I’ve always loved that about the way you develop your characters.
Thank you for this gem! I eagerly await your next book, I can’t wait to see who it’s about, who’s story I get to jump back into next.
