From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The
Moment comes a remarkable new novel that explores how and
why we fall in love.Laura works in a small hospital on the
Maine coast scanning and x-raying many a scared patient.
In a job where finding nothing is always the best result
she is well versed in the random unfairness of life a
truism that has started to affect her personally. Her
husband Dan has become a stranger since losing his job.
With a son in college and a daughter set to leave home she
wonders how the upcoming empty nest will affect the
disconnected state of her marriage. Still Laura jumps at
the opportunity to attend a conference in Boston where she
meets a man as grey and uninspired as her drab hotel. His
name is Richard. He’s a fifty-something salesman also from
Maine also in Boston for the weekend. When a chance
meeting brings them together again Laura begins to
discover a far more complex and thoughtful man behind the
flat facade. Like herself Richard ponders his own life and
wonders if the time has come to choose desire over
obligation. Five Days is a moving love story that will
have readers reflecting about the choices made that so
shape all our destinies. Featuring Kennedy’s trademark
evocative prose and his brilliant ability to delineate
life the way it is truly lived today it is a novel that
speaks directly to the many contradictions of the human
heart.
