Now: On the verge
of marriage and a fresh start, thirty-eight-year-old Charlie
Lewis finds that he can’t stop thinking about the past, and the
events of one particular summer. Then:
Sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don’t
remember in the school photograph. But when Fran Fisher bursts
into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope. The
price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a
theater troupe over the course of a summer. Poignant, funny,
enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the
rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a
celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief,
searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at
directly after it has burned out.
