Banishing Verona
Description
Zeke is twenty-nine and working as a carpenter and painter in London. Verona is thirty-seven, headstrong, and seven months pregnant. When the two meet in a house that Zeke is renovating, they fall in love, only to be separated less than 24 hours later when Verona mysteriously disappears. After much searching, Zeke discovers that Verona has travelled to Boston to help Henry, her brother, disentangle himself from some shady financial matters. As impulsively as he fell for Verona, Zeke decides to follow her to Boston. It is here that both lovers take on further and more desperate searches of their own, and Livesey's sophisticated novel, Banishing Verona, evolves into the most surprising and suspenseful of modern love stories.Product Details

Reviews
"An enthralling, unconventional boy-meets-girl story." --People(four stars)
"In Banishing Verona, Livesey, a first-rate storyteller, examines the ties that bind families and lovers. Her take on life is original, her use of perspective is deft, and her prose lovely. Zeke is captivating." --USA Today
"Livesey is interested not in medical conditions but in the human condition. . . . In fact, [she] expands (as is fiction's mission) our notion of what being human can mean." --The New York Times
"In Livesey's deft hands, their connection is as credible (and incredible) as love itself....[She] pulls it off effortlessly." --The Boston Globe
"Tantalizing . . . Livesey has taken a familiar plot device and has turned it into such a delicious literary construct that it seems new." --Seattle Post-Intelligencer
