If I Forget You
If I Forget You: A Novel | Thomas Christopher Greene
"Thomas Christopher Greene's If I Forget You is the most moving and beautifully-written love story I've read since Cold Mountain."Howard Frank Mosher, author of God's Kingdom Two former lovers reconnect in this beautiful and haunting tale of great lost love from the critically acclaimed author of The Headmaster's Wife Deeply affecting and compulsively readable, The Headmaster's Wife was a breakout book for Thomas Christopher Greene. Now, Greene returns with a beautifully written, emotional new novel perfect for his growing audience. Twenty-one years after they were driven apart by circumstances beyond their control, two former lovers have a chance encounter on a Manhattan street. What follows is a tense, suspenseful exploration of the many facets of enduring love. Told from altering points of view through time, If I Forget You tells the story of Henry Gold, a poet whose rise from poverty embodies the American dream, and Margot Fuller, the daughter of a prominent, wealthy family, and their unlikely, star-crossed love affair, complete with the secrets they carry when they find each other for the second time. Written in lyrical prose, If I Forget You is at once a great love story, a novel of marriage, manners, and family, a meditation on the nature of art, a moving elegy to what it means to love and to lose, and how the choices we make can change our lives forever.

I am a big fan of Greene, and this lovely, quiet novel about Henry and Margot who meet and fall in love in college and then are separated only to meet again 20 years later is filled with joy, melancholy, and a tenderness for who we are when we are young and who we become as we age. Gorgeous.

A beautiful (but predictable) book about a young poet who falls in love with the stereotypical rich East coast trust fund girl. I want to spend the weekend in Vermont and sit on a porch in a thunderstorm.

I had to bail (for now) on this book. It makes me melancholy, and I don't want to feel that way this time of year. I read about 1/4 of it. I like it - just not right now.

The story of a poet and a painter, finding themselves and each other again. The prose was like poetry in so many places; I marked many phrases to come back to for the pleasure of reading them again.

"Margot," Henry whispers. It is a name he has always loved to say. A name that is sui generis to him, it could only belong to her. It is a name he likes to turn over in his mouth. A tiny poem of a name, how it rises to the g and then falls soft as silk to the silence of the t.

I loved Greene's first novel so have high hopes for this story of refound love. Can the magic be rekindled decades after a couple parted? I like the first sentence.
