Produktbeschreibung
When a young book publicist finds herself in an all-consuming workplace affair with her literary idol, she learns that the things you love most can sometimes be the very things that tear you apart in this intoxicating and moving debut novel. Charlie hasn't always had high hopes for herself. But now at twenty-three, she's landed her dream job as an assistant at a historic London publishing house, moved into a stunning townhome with two of the most glamorous, kind and generous people she's ever met, and her favorite author, the award-winning, generation-defining, charming Richard Aveling, is about to publish his magnum opus--and Charlie is going to be working with him. She couldn't be more excited to help publish the man whose writing has inspired her since she was a teenager. When Charlie bumps into Richard while having a smoke in the rain, the attraction is immediate, and the moment feels nothing short of cinematic. So when the Richard Aveling begins to take her advice over that of more senior staff, Charlie finds herself drawn to him despite their thirty-year age gap, his marriage, and the disparity in their power at the publishing house. Once Richard makes it clear that he's drawn to her as well, they begin an affair that Charlie never saw coming; it is a relationship founded in control and silence. Too soon, she can't imagine her life without Richard, and too late, she understands that losing him will unravel more than just their relationship...it might also unravel her. Tender and poignant, Bitter Sweet is an intimate exploration of power, of vulnerability, of what it means to love another person, and of what it means to love yourself.
