Synopsis

Terrified of beautiful women, Jeremy Pauling is a 38 year-old bachelor who lives with his mother in her boarding house. When she dies, he is left in control, but is totally unable to cope with the arrival of the new lodger - her name is Mary Tell. By the same author as "The Accidental Tourist".

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jeremy is a child-like, painfully shy batchelor who has never left home. He lives on the third floor of his mother's boarding house and spends his days cutting up coloured paper to make mosaic sculptures - until the day his mother dies and the beautiful Mary Tell arrives to turn his world upside down.

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amateur Marriage and Digging to America.

Mary is unaware of how much courage it takes Jaremy to look her in the eye. For Jeremy, like one of his paper creations, is fragile and easily torn--especially when he's falling in love....
