Alec Valentine is returning to England to care for his ailing mother, Alice, a task that only reinforces his deep sense of inadequacy. In San Francisco, his older brother Larry prepares to come home as well, preoccupied with an acting career that is sliding toward sleaze and a marriage that is faltering. In Paris, on the other hand, the Hungarian playwright Lászlo Lázár seems to have it all--critical acclaim, a loving boyfriend, and a close circle of friends--yet even he is haunted by guilt and tragedy. For each of them the time has come to assess the turns taken, the opportunities missed. And for each there will be one last chance to break free from the past and find redemption in a moment of clarity and courage.\u003cbr\u003e Andrew Miller has given us an intimate, compelling meditation that evokes an extraordinary range of emotions and insights--\u003cem\u003eOxygen\u003c\/em\u003e lives and breathes beyond the final page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andrew Miller","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":53161660514595,"sku":"9780156027403","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/2258\/5123\/files\/9780156027403.jpg?v=1741184864"},{"product_id":"the-optimists","title":"The Optimists","description":"Clem Glass was a successful photojournalist, firm in the belief that photographs could capture truth and beauty. Until he went to Africa and witnessed the aftermath of a genocidal massacre. \u003cbr\u003eClem returns to London with his faith in human nature shattered and his life derailed. Nothing-work, love, sex-can rouse his interest and no other outlook can restore his faith. The one person Clem is able to connect with is his sister, who has made her own sudden retreat from reality into the shadows of mental illness, and he finds some peace nursing her back to health in rural Somerset. Then news arrives that offers him the chance to confront the source of his nightmares.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIn The Optimists, Miller explores the perilously thin line between self-delusion and optimism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Miller","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":53162984833315,"sku":"9780156030557","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/2258\/5123\/files\/9780156030557.jpg?v=1741189190"}],"url":"https:\/\/epicreads.com\/collections\/andrew-miller.oembed","provider":"Epic Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
