Description
The Geometry of Love was named one of the American Library Association’s Booklist’s Top Ten Women’s Fiction Titles of 2015.
The novel delves into the question: why is it often easier for a woman to serve as a muse than to have one? Can true creativity, whether in art or life—exist without the inspiration of passionate love? These themes are explored in The Geometry of Love, a story set in New York during the 1980s, which later shifts to Northern California two decades later. The protagonist, Julia, an aspiring poet, is living with her British boyfriend Ben, a reserved professor at Princeton when she unexpectedly reconnects with Michael, an old friend. Michael, a charismatic composer, had once been Julia’s muse, but now his return unsettles her life. Torn between the secureness of her relationship with Ben and the passionate allure of Michael, Julia faces a difficult decision. When Michael reveals he’s unable to commit, Julia tries to resolve her dilemma by introducing him to a cousin. Through this act, she realizes, echoing Pascal’s famous words, that “the heart has its reasons which reason does not know.” This deeply psychological narrative examines the unexpected ways people make romantic decisions.
