Meg Howrey performs her latest novel, a captivating story set in 1980s and ‘90s Manhattan. Carlisle grew up with her mother in the Midwest, spending summers in New York City with her father, Robert, and his partner, James. As an adult, Carlisle is estranged from her father and intent on losing herself in her work as a choreographer. Howrey’s narration creates an emotionally intimate listening experience as Carlisle receives a call from James, telling her that Robert is on his deathbed. As Carlisle wrestles with whether or not to fly to Robert’s bedside, Howrey conveys every moment of suspense with her subtle performance and attention to detail. Listeners will be enraptured to the very last sentence. K.D.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
A NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICE ¿ A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK ¿ A gripping novel set in the world of professional ballet, New York City during the AIDS crisis, and present-day Los Angeles. ¿ "Beautiful...Howrey, a former dancer with the Joffrey Ballet, proves herself a talented choreographer in her own right...[A] finger-trap puzzle of a plot."-New York Times Book Review
“They're Going to Love You is my idea of a perfect book. It is about art, life, death, love, and family and it is beautifully and sharply written. I cried several times while reading it, and was sorry to let it go when I was done. I cannot recommend it enough.” -Jami Attenberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins and All This Could Be Yours
Throughout her childhood, Carlisle Martin got to see her father, Robert, for only a few precious weeks a year when she visited the brownstone apartment in Greenwich Village he shared with his partner, James. Brilliant but troubled, James gave Carlisle an education in all that he held dear in life-literature, music, and, most of all, dance.
Seduced by the heady pull of mentorship and hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother-a former Balanchine ballerina-Carlisle's aspiration to become a professional ballet dancer bloomed. But above all else, she longed to be asked to stay at the house on Bank Street, to be a part of Robert and James's sophisticated world, even as the AIDS crisis brings devastation to their community. Instead, a passionate love affair created a rift between the family, with shattering consequences that reverberated for decades to come. Nineteen years later, when Carlisle receives a phone call that unravels the events of that fateful summer, she sees with new eyes how her younger self has informed the woman she's become.
They're Going to Love You is a gripping and gorgeously written novel of heartbreaking intensity. With psychological precision and a masterfully revealed secret at its heart, it asks what it takes to be an artist in America, and the price of forgiveness, of ambition, and of love.
