From the beloved author of Comeback Love comes an “absorbing” tale of forbidden romance set against the segregated American South, war-torn Europe, and the civil unrest of the Sixties. Julian Rose leaves Germany for America at fifteen, initially struggling before becoming a prominent bootlegger and later a successful real estate mogul. Kendall Wakefield, a free-spirited college senior aspiring to be a painter, is the daughter of a former slave and the founder of an African-American college in South Florida. In 1938, a dinner hosted by Kendall’s mother reunites Julian with his parents, rescued from the Nazis. This encounter sparks a thirty-year, on-again off-again affair that takes them from Miami Beach to Greenwich Village and postwar Paris. Along the way, they meet influential figures like Sartre and Picasso, who are redefining culture for a new generation. Their enduring longing for each other remains a constant amidst the changing tides of time. This panoramic tale of twentieth-century America is an unforgettable story of defiant love that “is epic and truly felt” (Kirkus Reviews).
