A new edition of Niall Williams' acclaimed novel, Four Letters of Love, a life-affirming paean to human folly, fate, and the miracle of love.
Soon to be a major motion picture starring Helena Bonham Carter, Pierce Brosnan, and Gabriel Byrne.
"When I was twelve years old God spoke to my father for the first time. God didn't say much. He told my father to be a painter and left it at that..." So begins Niall Williams' magical tale about love and destiny.
Nicholas Coughlan and Isabel Gore were made for each other--but fate doesn't always take the easiest or the most obvious route to true love. For a start, Nicholas and Isabel have never met, and nor are they likely to, without some kind of divine intervention. But as God, ghosts, a series of coincidences, and seemingly chance encounters conspire to bring the couple together, other--often more human--forces attempt to keep them apart.
'What will be, will be,' of course, but that doesn't guarantee a happy-ever-after ending, nor answer the question, 'Will they, won't they?'
Written in a lyrical, lilting tone, Four Letters of Love is a glorious, uplifting story about faith, seizing the moment, believing in your instincts, and acting on impulse--and following your heart, no matter where it may lead.
