As Johanna Thomas-Corr wrote in \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e (London): \"You don't so much read André Aciman's novels as tumble breathlessly into them.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRoom on the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e, Aciman offers three heart-wrenching tales of amorous ambivalence, all of which unfold in his inimitably nostalgic style. \"The Gentleman from Peru\" tells the story of the life-changing encounter between a group of friends and an enigmatic solitary guest in a hotel on the Amalfi Coast. \"Room on the Sea\" is a dialogue between a man and a woman who meet on jury duty and embark on a complex relationship. \"Mariana\" is a modern retelling of a famous seventeenth-century novel about a love affair between a nun and a swashbuckling, unreliable aristocrat. Together, Aciman's novellas form a complex portrait of desire, and of love realized and lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e André Aciman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.44w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250437891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAndré Aciman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eCall Me by Your Name\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Roman Year\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHomo Irrealis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFind Me\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Eight White Nights\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Out of Egypt\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e False Papers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Alibis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Harvard Square\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Enigma Variations\u003c\/i\u003e and is the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Proust Project\u003c\/i\u003e.
