Eight white nights: André Aciman - Softcover

A powerfully original novel of modern love by the author of Call Me By Your Name. A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: 'I am Clara.' Over the following seven days, they meet every evening in the snowy city. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly and won't hazard a move. But as they move closer together, this amorous dance builds towards a New Year's Eve charged with magic, the promise of renewal and love.

Andre Aciman teaches comparative literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He lives with his family in Manhattan. His first novel, Call Me By Your Name, was published in 2008.
