The Story of Arthur Truluv

by Elizabeth Berg

Praise For This Book


"Fans of Meg Wolitzer, Emma Straub, or [Elizabeth] Berg's previous novels will appreciate the richly complex characters and clear prose. Redemptive without being maudlin, this story of two misfits lucky to have found one another will tug at readers' heartstrings."-Booklist

"Elizabeth Berg's characters jump right off the page and into your heart. I dare you to read this novel and not fall in love with Arthur Truluv. His story will make you laugh and cry, and will show you a love that never ends, and what it means to be truly human."-Fannie Flagg, author of The Whole Town's Talking

"I don't know if I've ever read a more affecting book about the natural affinity between the young and the elderly than Elizabeth Berg's The Story of Arthur Truluv. It makes the rest of us-strivers and preeners and malcontents-seem almost irrelevant."-Richard Russo, author of Everybody's Fool

"Elizabeth Berg reminds us of both the richness of any human life and the heart's needed resilience."-Jane Hirshfield, author of The Beauty: Poems
