In a re-imagined Midsummer Night's Dream, men and women speak of and desire their ideal mates; parents seek out their lost children; adult children try to come to terms with their own parents and, in some cases, find new ones. \u003cbr\u003eIn vignettes both comic and sexy, the owner of a coffee shop recalls the day his first wife seemed to achieve a moment of simple perfection, while she remembers the women's softball game during which she was stricken by the beauty of the shortstop. A young couple spends hours at the coffee shop fueling the idea of their fierce love. A professor of philosophy, stopping by for a cup of coffee, makes a valiant attempt to explain what he knows to be the inexplicable workings of the human heart. \u003cbr\u003eTheir voices resonate with each other--disparate people joined by the meanderings of love--and come together in a tapestry that depicts the most irresistible arena of life. Crafted with subtlety, grace, and power, The Feast of Love is a masterful novel.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Pantheon Books \/ A Division of Random House, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Feast of Love | Charles Baxter | Hardcover | 9780375410192 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1766489","offer_id":49376935575704,"sku":"1766489","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81ENLXAgqnL.jpg?v=1783023207","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/feast-of-love","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
