A hugely romantic debut novel about love and destiny from a talented new author. 'Beginner's Greek' is set in New York City and tells the story of a young man named Peter Russell and a young woman named Holly Edwards. Peter works for a prestigious financial firm on Wall Street, and Holly teaches Latin at a private girls' school -- when they sit next to each other on a plane journey, an intoxicating tale of romance, coincidence and thwarted plans starts to unfold. Other characters include: Jonathan Speedwell, an extremely handsome writer who is also Holly's husband, Peter's best friend and, crucially, a cad; Charlotte Montague, Peter's rather tiresome and pretentious wife; Arthur Beeche, the dignified, formal and very, very rich proprietor of the firm where Peter works; Julia Montague, Charlotte's beautiful, young step-mother and Dick Montague, a successful, vain lawyer who is Charlotte's father. Take all these characters and throw in miscommunications, letters going astray, adulterous relationships, fiendish behaviour and ultimately an ending in which everyone gets their due!The result is a debut novel that is charming, fresh, clever and beautifully written; a deeply romantic story about the transformative power of love.

Seller's Description:
The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly. All pages and cover are intact (including the dust cover, if applicable). Spine may show signs of wear. Pages may include limited notes and highlighting. May NOT include discs, access code or other supplemental materials.
This is an abridgement, so some of the delicious character development has been left out. But the wonderful flavor of James Collins' modern tale of love & money among the upper class in NYC is still delightful.

OK--it's not a mystery novel, but the story really sucks you in and you want to find out what happens to each character. I really liked it--the writing was easy to read. And as a side note, at least the copy I read, the print was easy to read--a deal breaker for me and books!
