Gergin gecenin camlarının ardında, iki atı yaylıya bağlamışlardı; biri beyaz, öbürü siyah. Atların ağzından çıkan buğu, bir gri bulut gibi, koyu mavi atmosferde yok oluyordu. Atlar yorgundu. Sık ve kesik soluyorlardı. Belli ki, uzun bir yol kat etmişlerdi… Nereden gelmişti? Onu ne zamandan beri buraya getirmişlerdi?!

From the winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize for Fiction comes the highly entertaining sequel to Talking it Over. In Talking it Over Gillian and Stuart were married until Oliver - witty, feckless Oliver - stole Gillian away.

Darker and deeper than its predecessor, Love, etc is a compelling exploration of contemporary love and its betrayals.
