Book Description
From literary Concord to the backwater canals of Venice, "Love’s Attraction" takes readers on a tantalizing and thought-provoking journey as Michael Collins, a Washington political fixer facing an impending bribery scandal, is suddenly confronted with a past he never knew and a legacy of heartbreak and deception from which he failed to escape. This is a mysterious, romantic novel that explores universal themes of identity: how memory (or its lack), talent and intemperate desires -- embodied in art as well as in our genes -- are passed down through families to influence our hidden selves. The novel speaks to the role of metamorphosis in our lives and how the transforming elixir of love’s attraction makes us most fully human.
