Douglas Petersen may be mild-mannered, but behind his reserve lies a sense of humor that, against all odds, seduces beautiful Connie into a second date. and eventually into marriage. Now, almost three decades after their relationship first blossomed in London, they live more or less happily in the suburbs with their moody seventeen year-old son, Albie. Then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce. The timing couldn't be worse. Hoping to encourage her son's artistic interests, Connie has planned a month-long tour of European capitals, a chance to experience the world's greatest works of art as a family, and she can't bring herself to cancel. And maybe going ahead with the original plan is for the best anyway? Douglas is privately convinced that this landmark trip will rekindle the romance in the marriage, and might even help him to bond with Albie. Narrated from Douglas's endearingly honest, slyly witty, and at times achingly optimistic point of view, Us is the story of a man trying to rescue his relationship with the woman he loves, and learning how to get closer to a son who's always felt like a stranger. Us is a moving meditation on the demands of marriage and parenthood, the regrets of abandoning youth for middle age, and the intricate relationship between the heart and the head. And in David Nicholls's gifted hands, Douglas's odyssey brings Europe--from the streets of Amsterdam to the famed museums of Paris, from the cafe's of Venice to the beaches of Barcelona--to vivid life just as he experiences a powerful awakening of his own. Will this summer be his last as a husband, or the moment when he turns his marriage, and maybe even his whole life, around?"-- ▼c Provided by publisher. | |

Now a PBS Masterpiece television miniseries starring Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves
Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize
David Nicholls brings the wit and intelligence that graced his enormously popular New York Times bestseller, One Day, to a compellingly human, deftly funny new novel about what holds marriages and families together--and what happens, and what we learn about ourselves, when everything threatens to fall apart.

Then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce.

저자소개
데이비드 니콜스(지은이)
어릴 때는 의사나 만화가가 꿈이었지만, 정작 1985년 브리스톨대학에 진학할 때는 영문과에 들어갔다. 졸업과 동시에 뉴욕으로 건너가 아메리칸음악연기학교에 입학, 연기자 수업을 쌓은 뒤 1991년 런던으로 돌아왔다. 정식 연기자로 데뷔한 뒤 낮에는 노팅힐의 대형서점에서 일하면서 영국 곳곳의 연극 무대를 전전하며 8년의 경력을 쌓았다. 그러다 국립극장 소속 배우로 3년을 일하면서 희곡과 영화각본 구성작업까지 일의 범위를 넓혔는데, 그 결과 샤론 스톤, 닉 놀테 등이 주연한 영화 <심파티코>의 작가로 데뷔하였다. 이 작품과 더불어 니콜스는 전업작가의 길로 접어들었고, 첫 소설 <스타터 포 텐>은 자신의 각본 작업 끝에 제임스 맥아보이와 레베카 홀 주연으로 제작되었다. 그밖에도 9편의 영화, 드라마 각본을 맡았고, 유니버설 영화사에서 제작하는 <원 데이> 각본도 직접 썼다. 닉 혼비 각본의 <언 에듀케이션>으로 명성을 쌓은 덴마크 출신 감독 론 쉐르픽이 메가폰을 잡은 영화 <원 데이>는 2012년 겨울에 한국에서도 개봉되었다. 그가 사랑하는 영화, 책, 작가 등을 보려면 http://www.davidnichollswriter.com/about_david 참조.
