Landing
Emma Donoghue
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
<p>A delightful, old-fashioned love story with a uniquely twenty-first-century twist, <I>Landing</I> is a romantic comedy that explores the pleasures and sorrows of long-distance relationships&#8212;the kind millions of us now maintain mostly by plane, phone, and Internet. S&#237;le is a stylish citizen of the new Dublin, a veteran flight attendant who's traveled the world. Jude is a twenty-five-year-old archivist, stubbornly attached to the tiny town of Ireland, Ontario, in which she was born and raised. On her first plane trip, Jude's and S&#237;le's worlds touch and snag at Heathrow Airport. In the course of the next year, their lives, and those of their friends and families, will be drawn into a new, shaky orbit. This sparkling, lively story explores age-old questions: Does where you live matter more than who you live with? What would you give up for love, and would you be a fool to do so?</p>
