Biographical Note: "Every time Amy Bloom writes a book, another small miracle occurs. In I'll Be Right Here, she explores notions of pride, kindness, fearlessness, longing, belonging, and love. What else do we expect from a writer who wrings out our tired hearts and updates our souls?" --Colum McCann, author of Twist "Chosen family spreads its branches over decades and continents . . . full of surprises, wild leaps and turns, and many fascinating people who love each other . . . Warm, rich, beautifully written." --Kirkus Reviews "Moves fluidly . . . peeling back the layers of a lifetime of love and loss." --Booklist "Stimulating . . . with [Bloom's] thoughtful and complex character development . . . It's a memorable portrait of a found family's fulfillment." --Publishers Weekly Reading Line: New York Times bestselling author of White Houses and Away; National bestseller Publisher Marketing: NATIONAL BESTSELLER - A sweeping, intimate novel about an unconventional and irresistible family, in prose "so finely wrought it shimmers" (Los Angeles Times)--from the New York Times bestselling author of In Love, White Houses, and Away "Amy Bloom is at the height of her powers in this epic tale."--J. Courtney Sullivan, author of The Cliffs "Bloom approaches each of her characters with empathy, insight, and sensitivity. She remains acutely aware of the absurdities of life, its harrowing hardships, and its fragile, fleeting joys."--The Boston Globe Immigrating alone from Paris to New York after the crucible of World War II, young Gazala becomes friends with two spirited sisters, Anne and Alma. When Gazala's lost, beloved brother, Samir, joins her in Manhattan, this contentious, inseparable foursome makes their way into the twenty-first century, becoming the beating heart of a multigenerational found family. The passing years are marked by the business of everyday existence and the inevitable surprises of erupting passions, of great and small waves of joy and despair, from the beginning of life to its end. Gazala and Samir make a home together, Anne leaves her husband for his sister, and Anne's restless daughter grows up to raise a child on her own and to join a throuple, becoming who she wants to be. Through it all, amid the tumult of these decades, the four friends and their best beloveds stand by one another, protecting, annoying, and celebrating themselves, steadfastly unapologetic about their desires and the unorthodox family they have created. As the next generation falls in and out of love, experiencing triumphs, mistakes and disappointments, the central pillars of their lives are the four indomitable elders they call the "Greats." In I'll Be Right Here, Amy Bloom embraces the complexity and richness of humanity and the lawlessness of love, bringing her trademark voice, wry humor, and compassionate eye to the many, often mysterious ways we live as we love, and hope to be loved in return.
