A Little Love Story: A Novel

In A Little Love Story, Roland Merulloâ€”winner of the Massachusetts Book Award and the Maria Thomas Fiction Awardâ€”has created a sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious tale of attraction and loyalty, jealousy and grief. It is a classic love storyâ€”with some modern twists.

Janet Rossi is very smart and unusually attractive, an aide to the governor of Massachusetts, but she suffers from an illness that makes her, as she puts it, â€œnot exactly a good long-term investment.â€ Jake Entwhistle is a few years older, a carpenter and portrait painter, smart and good-looking too, but with a shadow over his romantic history. After meeting by accidentâ€”literallyâ€”when Janet backs into Jakeâ€™s antique truck, they begin a love affair marked by courage, humor, a deep and erotic intimacy . . . and modern complications.

Working with the basic architecture of the love story genre, Merulloâ€”a former carpenter known for his novels about family lifeâ€”breaks new ground with a fresh look at modern romance, taking liberties with the classic design, adding original lines of friendship, spirituality, and laughter, and, of course, probing the mystery of love.
