商品简介
From the author of Something to Live For, a poignant and funny story about a man whose wife disappeared seven years ago and his journey to find her or find out what happened, interwoven with the story of their relationship, revealing how sometimes the biggest secrets are the ones we keep from ourselves.
Twenty years of love. Seven years of absence. One journey to find out what happened.
Brian’s wife, Lily, disappeared from his life without a trace six years, eleven months, one week, and two days ago, but Brian never lost hope. Since her disappearance their once beloved English pub—and Brian’s livelihood—has been crumbling piece by piece. As the anniversary of her absence approaches, Brian desperately needs a sign. One doom-scroll on his business’s reviews later, he finds it: an active TripAdvisor account for PinkMoonLily1972 that he knows in his heart is his Lily.
Interspliced with Brian’s journey to find Lily is the story of their love—how it started, and the twists and turns that brought them to this moment. As Brian jumps from one destination to the next to find Lily, and the truth behind their story comes into focus, Brian comes back to life with the help of Tess, a sarcastic, kind, and surprising traveling companion. But in order to move forward he’ll need to decide—stay in the past or take a chance on something unexpected.
来自Something to Live For的作者，这是一个辛酸而有趣的故事，讲述了一个妻子七年前失踪的男人以及他寻找她或查明发生了什么的旅程，与故事交织在一起他们的关系，揭示了有时最大的秘密是我们对自己隐瞒的秘密。
二十年的爱情。七年缺席。一次了解到底发生了什么的旅程。
布莱恩的妻子莉莉从他的生活中消失得无影无踪，六年零十一个月零一周零两年几天前，但布莱恩从未失去希望。自从她失踪后，他们曾经心爱的英国酒吧——以及布莱恩的生计——已经一点点崩溃。随着她缺席周年纪念日的临近，布莱恩迫切需要一个标志。后来，他在他的企业评论中找到了一张末日卷轴，发现了：PinkMoonLily1972 的一个活跃 TripAdvisor 帐户，他心里知道这个帐户是他的 Lily。
与 Brian 的帐户交织在一起《寻找莉莉的旅程》讲述了他们的爱情故事——爱情是如何开始的，以及他们经历的曲折才走到这一刻。当布莱恩从一个目的地跳到下一个目的地去寻找莉莉时，他们故事背后的真相逐渐成为焦点，布莱恩在苔丝的帮助下复活了，苔丝是一位讽刺、善良、令人惊讶的旅伴。但为了继续前进，他需要做出决定——是留在过去，还是抓住机会尝试一些意想不到的事情。

媒体评论
“This delightful novel is stuffed full of surprises, not least of which how well it combines humor with a deeply moving account of a love lost and a future found.”—Liam Callanan, Paris by the Book and When in Rome
“A charming novel about the memory of a lost wife and her husband's quest to find her. I was drawn in, delighted and surprised by this love story that has both sweetness and depth. I highly recommend escaping to the story of This Disaster Loves You.” –Miriam Parker, author of The Shortest Way Home
“There’s warmth and wit on every page of This Disaster Loves You. But beyond Richard Roper’s usual easy-going charm lies keen insight, an enthralling mystery, and an emotional ending that simply blew me away. I absolutely loved this book.”—Matthew Norman, author of Charm City Rocks
“Richard Roper writes with wit, soul, and beautiful prose.” –Good Morning America
“Richard Roper writes humour so brilliantly.” –Beth O’ Leary, author of The Flatshare and The Switch
“Roper has a light touch that keeps the reader laughing even while he gently pulls on the heartstrings...” –Kirkus
“Roper possesses a wry and formidable wit. But his real gift is the ability to infuse that humor with such immense heart that it becomes the path for an uplifting and redemptive journey.” –Steven Rowley, author of Lily and the Octopus
"Richard Roper uplifts the human spirit and shows us how to embrace life and hope.” —Phaedra Patrick, author of The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper
Praise for the Novels of Richard Roper
“[A] winning debut novel. . . . Roper illuminates Andrew’s interior life to reveal not what an odd duck he is, but what odd ducks we all are — lonely, confused, misguided, bumbling and, as we learn in the book’s powerhouse ending, profoundly bereft. Roper’s unbridled compassion for his characters is the book’s greatest strength.” —New York Times Book Review
“Off-beat and winning . . . How Not to Die Alone gives resiliency and the triumph of the human spirit a good name.” —Wall Street Journal
