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.","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":52317699211480,"sku":"9781250437891","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":52345100894424,"sku":"9781420529302","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover (2)","offer_id":52345100927192,"sku":"9780374613419","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/0369\/4552\/files\/imageloader_84aef1f9-eb41-49c0-8fc1-f2b4399c5096.jpg?v=1787949751","url":"https:\/\/bigredbooks.shop\/products\/room-on-the-sea","provider":"Big Red Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
