Room on the Sea Three Novellas

"Through subtle observations and gentle narrative arcs, [Aciman] maintains that crushes and heartaches are as urgent as any of the crises that face us." -Sumaiya Aftab Ahmed, The Washington Post

"A triptych of novellas rooted in the same sweetly painful intimacies. The three stories collected in Room on the Sea all concern the kinds of quiet, complex love that refuse to fit neatly on a greeting card." -Colin Dwyer, NPR

"Room on the Sea is wise and luminous, exploring the tender, elusive space between what was and what might still be." -Paula McLain, Charleston City Paper

"When reading Aciman, you simultaneously feel the expansive possibility of life and the looming prospect of choice that will dictate that life. Room on the Sea is no exception." -Molly B. Nash, Chicago Review of Books

"This exquisite triptych from Aciman explores desire and fate among old friends, new acquaintances, and heartbroken lovers . . . A triumph." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Count on Aciman for stories filled with love, lust, loss, and not a small measure of regret. These beguiling novellas offer up all of that in spades." -Barbara Love, Library Journal (starred review)
