«En toda relación hay al menos un día realmente bueno», afirma uno de los protagonistas de esta novela que disecciona esa poderosa fuerza que mueve nuestras vidas: el amor. En ella varios personajes le cuentan al narrador sus experiencias más íntimas. Conoceremos a Bradley, quien rememora un día perfecto con Kathryn, su primera mujer, mientras que esta nos confiesa un inesperado flechazo en un partido de sóftbol; a Chloé y Oscar, dos adolescentes que escapan de su humilde pasado sumidos en un amor ardiente e inagotable; o a Diana, que disfruta sin remordimientos de su relación con un hombre casado. Vivencias entretejidas y visiones dispares que completan una vivísima panorámica sobre un sentimiento universal.

In vignettes both comic and sexy, the owner of a coffee shop recalls the day his first wife seemed to achieve a moment of simple perfection, while he remembers the women's softball game during which he was stricken by the beauty of the shortstop. A young couple spends hours at the coffee shop fueling the idea of their fierce love. A professor of philosophy, stopping by for a cup of coffee, makes a valiant attempt to explain what he knows to be the inexplicable workings of the human heart. Their voices resonate with each other, disparate people joined by the meanderings of love, and come together in a tapestry that depicts the most irresistible arena of life. Crafted with subtlety, grace, and power, The Feast of Love is a masterful novel.
