All the Beautiful Things You Love
All the Beautiful Things You Love | Jonathan Seidler
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Elly and Enzo love each other. Elly and Enzo are breaking up. Now, everything must go. When Enzo suddenly walks out on Elly after ten years together, she finds herself marooned in an expensive East London flat, surrounded by all their belongings. She is shell-shocked. Inconsolable. She can't bear to look at the objects that she and Enzo collected together, those innocuous items that define the key moments of every relationship. Now she's listing it all on Marketplace: the table they found in Italy. The bike he bought for her birthday. Records, luggage, a vintage velvet couch. Anything that tells a story she'd rather forget. Elly thinks that selling these items to total strangers will help her move on from Enzo and heal her devastated heart. But she's about to get a lot more than she bargained for. All the Beautiful Things You Love is a vivid and vibrant exploration of the things that bring us together and tear us apart, and those keepsakes that populate the wide-open spaces between where love ends and starts again. PRAISE FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS YOU LOVE 'A pitch-perfect delivery of the clutter and noise our times bring to long-term relationships and their ends - insightful and hugely entertaining.' - Nick Earls 'Seidler's characters are so real, so vibrant I could swear they're in my contacts. A sheer delight from cover to cover, masterfully soundtracked with the author's trademark mashup of music and text. I inhaled it with all my senses and never want to let it go.' - Nadine Cohen

All The Beautiful Things You Love is a very passionate story, and Seidler does an excellent job of evoking the all-consuming grief of heartbreak. There was one Antiques Roadshow-style moment that actually had my eyes welling up, and I‘m not the kind of reader who usually cries.
