Paul was reading a newspaper. Catherine was reading a novel. So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts.

What begins as a flirtation quickly evolves into something deeper, something Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret - and with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past.

By turns scintillating and philosophical, Room on the Sea is a compulsively listenable story of love, fate, and last chances.

Andre Aciman uses words as if adding spices to a dish. As a 70 year old woman, he captures quite accurately the feelings of knowing love, having lost love and the rare opportunity of finding love again.
I throughly enjoyed this short story.
Jeff Daniels is brilliant as a reader!

Beautiful love story

I loved everything about this offering. I finished it in one sitting. Jeff Daniels adds the perfect tone and texture to this warm, rich story of two strangers who meet in the jury duty room and form a deep, meaningful connection. A joy to read about adults , (old enough to have retirement conversations) in such an honest way.
Felt like a soft, warm blanket on a cold day.

Wonderful

I struggled to continue with this book after Wednesday. I wasnt sure where the plot went & mostly kept it as a background noise during my lunch at work.

a bit confusing

This is an absolutely lovely story. The characters are compelling, and I found myself eagerly wanting to know them better. Jeff Daniels voice is perfect for audio narration. The only minor complaint I have is that often times the conversation is just between the two main characters and Jeff Daniels makes no attempt to distinguish their voices from one another. Occasionally, I wasn’t sure who was speaking. Overall, highly recommended.

A beautiful experience
