Publisher's Summary
Paul was reading a newspaper. Catherine was reading a novel. So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts.
What begins as a flirtation quickly evolves into something deeper, something Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret - and with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past.
By turns scintillating and philosophical, Room on the Sea is a compulsively listenable story of love, fate, and last chances.

Jeff Daniels was superb!
Beautiful story with a slow pace read by an artist that understood what the story needed.

Not a bad short
Jeff Daniels is the absolutely perfect choice to narrate this hopeful nostalgic Aciman short. I quite enjoyed listening to it on this wintry afternoon.

Unique and entrancing
I don’t usually go for romance novels but stumbled on this and enjoyed it immensely. It had depth. The cafe life, art and Naples brought it to life.

Enjoyable
Enjoyed listening to this short. Well written, the conversations move along and presents a believable encounter between two people. Jeff Daniels has a fabulous voice to lull you into the storyline.
