"Snowbound in Maine, two strangers struggle to survive--fighting, flirting, baring secrets. Their sexy, snappy dialogue will keep you racing through." -- People "A snowstorm hits a small town in Maine, trapping strangers in a cabin: Danielle, who is homeless, and Eric, a lawyer who swoops in to help her. As temps drop, tensions rise and passions flare." -- Good Housekeeping " The Remedy for Love is a page-turner, a love story and a vivid drama of man (and woman) against the elements. Those who read and loved Roorbach's sprawling, eccentric Life Among Giants , coming to HBO as a dramatic series, will be a little surprised to see that The Remedy for Love is nothing like it--except that it's a great read by a wonderful writer who obviously has many tricks up his sleeve." -- Newsday "[A] superbly grown-up love story . . . Another expertly delivered portrait of the world from Roorbach ( Life Among Giants , 2012, etc.), that poet of hopeless tangles." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Part survival tale and part romance . . . Roorbach does well in the limited space, keeping the narrative tight without being claustrophobic . . . There's more depth to the fierce and mercurial Danielle than meets the eye, which gives [the characters'] interactions spark as the storm rages outside and something even more powerful develops within." -- Booklist "One of the best novels of this or any year . . . A flat-out funny, sexy, and poignant romantic thriller." -- David Abrams, author of Fobbit " The Remedy for Love is not the remedy for sleep deprivation. You'll stay up all night . . . It is relentless and brilliant. Leave it to Roorbach to tease out the subtlest nuances in the progress of love while stoking a tale that is as gripping as any Everest expedition--and that is also tender and terrifying and funny and, in the end, so true it seems inevitable. I'm not sure there's another American writing today who can lay down a love story, or any story, with the depth and appeal and freshness of Bill Roorbach." -- Peter Heller, author of The Dog Stars "Unusual and riveting."-- Oprah Daily, "Snowbound in Maine, two strangers struggle to survive--fighting, flirting, baring secrets.
