The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer

4.0

"We are each the love of someone's life." It took me well over a hundred pages to fall in love with Max Tivoli, but I did. I fell in love with his sad, sentimental story. And Alice didn't deserve him. But I'm glad he got to know his son. The setting of time and place were perfect for this story. Amazing writing. There are some real gems in this novel. I liked this one:
"What do our lovers see when they close their eyes? What comes to them in daydreams? Only those who love artists will ever know, though it breaks our hearts to find it's never us."
