This Is a Love Story

For fifty years, Abe and Jane have returned to Central Park. Sometimes they came alone, seeking space from one another; other times they came together to talk through life’s most important decisions. For half a century, the park has quietly witnessed the story of their love.

Now everything is changing.

Jane is dying, and Abe finds himself reflecting on the life they built together—revisiting both the memories they cherished and the ones they tried to avoid. He remembers their early courtship and the excitement of their creative lives, but he also confronts the complicated truths that shaped their family: a determined young student searching for her own love story, and their son Max, who believes his mother chose art over motherhood and has spent his life avoiding intimacy as a result.

Set against the timeless backdrop of New York City, This Is a Love Story is a tender and moving novel about marriage, memory, and the enduring power of love—even in the face of loss.
