The Last Time They Met A Novel

From the last time Linda and Thomas meet, at a charmless hotel in a distant city, to the moment, thirty-five years earlier, when a chance encounter on a rocky beach binds them fatefully together, this hypnotically compelling novel unfolds a tale of intense passion, drama, and suspense. The book proceeds in reverse chronological order, chronicling the obsessive love between the poets Linda Fallon and Thomas Janes, who connect only three times in 35 years. The novel's structure begins with their final encounter and moves backward to their earlier, high-school meeting, creating a narrative that traces the extraordinary resonance a single choice can have over a lifetime. The Last Time They Met is a singularly ambitious and accomplished work by one of today's most widely celebrated novelists.
