'A luminous chronicle of betrayal, sacrifice and creative ambition' The Observer 'Lush and enjoyable. a glossy, fast-paced family drama' The Times 'My idea of a perfect book' Jami Attenberg'By the book's close, readers will be clamouring for an extra curtain call' Guardian Once a year, ballet-obsessed Carlisle Martin spends a few precious weeks with her father Robert and his partner James at their enchanted apartment in Greenwich Village. Time spent with them is impossibly glamorous, filled with art, dance, beauty, books, and grown-ups who take her seriously as they battle the AIDs crisis and Then, one summer, a devastating betrayal sees her exiled from their world. Now in her 40s, Carlisle has forged a successful career as a choreographer, and hasn't seen Robert or James in nearly twenty years, when James calls to summon her to her dying father's bedside. They're Going to Love You, with its masterfully revealed secret at its heart, asks what it takes tobe an artist, and the price of forgiveness, of ambition, and of love. 'In this finger-trap puzzle of a plot, the pull of the past meets the pressures of the present' New York Times

Rezensionen
Howrey deftly jumps through decades and lives to write a taut, moving evocation of the love and hurt contained within families and the difficulty of forgiveness. Mail on Sunday
"Howrey's prose invites readers to feel the emotion of each dance, beautifully translating physical and visual art onto the page. [Her] incisive character studies create a heart-wrenching story of love and loss."
