BOOKER PRIZE LONGLIST - "A vibrant, heartstrings-tugging novel" (People) about a mother's love, in all its forms, as a woman searches for the daughter she gave up for adoption, from the prize-winning author of Golden Child

"A beautiful story . . . explores what it means to be a woman and what it means to love."--Amanda Peters, author of The Berry Pickers

"Reads like a Claire Keegan story expanded by Elizabeth Strout."--The Times, "Best Books to Take on Holiday This Summer"

For much of her life, Dawn has felt as if something is missing. Now, at the age of fifty-eight, with a divorce behind her and her two grown-up sons busy with their own lives, she should be trying to settle into a new future for herself. But she keeps returning to the past and to the secret she's kept all these years. At just sixteen, Dawn found herself pregnant, and--as was common in Trinidad back then--her parents sent her away to have the baby and give her up for adoption.

More than forty years later, Dawn yearns to reconnect with her lost daughter. But tracking down her child is not as easy as she had thought. It's an emotional journey that leads Dawn to retrace her steps--from Trinidad to Venezuela and then to London--and to question not only that fateful decision she'd made as a teenager but every turn in the road of her life since.

Love Forms is a powerfully moving story of a woman in search of herself--a novel that rings with heartfelt empathy through the passages of a mother's life, depicting the enduring bonds of love, family, and home.
