(P/B) THE GOOD LOVER

Παρουσίαση

The rich businessman Karl Astuson left Iceland seventeen years ago to live a Playboy bachelor lifestyle in New York. He has almost everything he could possibly want, but is unable to maintain a relationship longer than a one-night stand. He still pines for his childhood sweetheart Una, so on a whim decides to return to Iceland and find her. They elope to New York City, but Karl’s fairytale romance takes unexpected turns as his past and present collide amid the skyscrapers of the Big Apple. (From the publisher)

The Good Lover tells the story of Karl Astuson, whose love life consists of a string of meaningless affairs; the only woman who came close to his 'perfect' mother was his first and only love Una, who left a void within Karl that he seems unable to fill. Impulsively and uncharacteristically, he travels back to Reykjavik and wins her over. But before they have the chance to live out their happy ending, Karl's womanizing past catches up with him when an ex immortalizes him in a novel as 'the good lover'.
