Publisher's summary

"Q, Quentina Elizabeth Deveril, is the love of my life."

Shortly before his wedding, the unnamed hero of this uncommon romance is visited by a man who claims to be his future self and ominously admonishes him that he must not marry the love of his life, Q. At first the protagonist doubts this stranger, but in time he becomes convinced of the authenticity of the warning and leaves his fiancée. The resulting void in his life is impossible to fill.

One after the other, future selves arrive, urging him to marry someone else, divorce, attend law school, leave law school, travel, join a running club, stop running, study the guitar, the cello, Proust, Buddhism, and opera and eliminate gluten from his diet. The only constants in this madcap quest for personal improvement are his love for his New York City home and for the irresistible Q.

A unique literary talent, Evan Mandery turns the classic story of transcendent love on its head, with an ending that will melt even the darkest heart.

Surprisingly good

I am compelled to leave a review due to how much I truly enjoyed this audiobook.

I was drawn to the book by the description of the story. I anticipated a deep, thoughtful listen. The narration is much more. I found my self very engaged in the story, and laughing out loud many times. Some of the wit was reminiscent of snippets found in "Stranger in a Strange Land". Really enjoyable.

Highly recommended. Thank you for the book, Mr. Mandery. Thank you for the great narration, Mr. Fouhey.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
