NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From
bestselling author Susan Isaacs comes a rich family saga about marriage,
wealth, and celebrity in the midst of personal tragedy—and
about the ties that bind us together and the missed opportunities that tear us
apart.
Nick
is stunningly handsome, the blue-eyed scion of a blue-blood New York family.
Rich, talented, confident he will become the world's most famous movie star.
Jane is delightfully funny, a dark-skinned, dark-haired, half-Jewish,
half-German daughter of the Midwest. Smart, gifted, loving, she will become
famous in her own right as well.
From
the time they first meet in their Social and Intellectual History of the U.S.
course at Brown University, it's love at first sight. Coming together from two
very different worlds, they will cast off adversity and disapproval to forge a
life filled with work, love, and children.
But fame and success come at a high price—their marriage. Just when it
seems the promise of their love might be renewed, an accident leaves Jane
hovering between life and death. Now, it's not only their union that might not
survive, but Jane, too...
Almost Paradise is
vintage Susan Isaacs, a witty, poignant, and engrossing tale of a man, a woman,
and a passion wondrous, heartbreaking, and unforgettable.
