- Summary
-
- There's this set of things everyone expects from you...Since her boyfriend Gus was killed in 9/11, Billy has been pretending. It is easier for her to stay silent and go through the motions of grief than to tell the truth: that she was planning to leave Gus, and that his death left her feeling a mixture of ambivalence and anguish that she is still struggling to resolve. Drawing from her experience, Billy writes The Lake Shore Limited. The opening night of the play brings together three people whose lives intersect and interweave with Billy's: Leslie, Gus's older sister, haunted by his death and constantly aware of what could have been; Rafe, the actor who brings the joy and sadness of his own marriage into his role; and Sam, a recently divorced man who is irresistibly drawn to Billy's distinctive, enigmatic beauty. Together these four voices create a mesmerizing novel of entanglements, connections and inconsolable losses
- 'I was very moved by this subtle and truthful book. Sue Miller's writing, while never showy, builds an honest, elegant world around the reader' Sadie Jones 'A deeply affecting examination of the thoughts and feelings of four people still moving in the shadow of that tragedy ... exquisite' Washington Post 'An acutely observant writer capable of revealing painful emotional truths about the human condition ... heartbreaking' Sunday Telegraph 'A haunting chamber-music piece with many different solos...The result is her most nuanced and unsentimental novel to date' New York Times
