Resumen del Editor

Paul was reading a newspaper. Catherine was reading a novel. So begins Room on the Sea, André Aciman's scorching and elegiac love-story about a middle-aged man and woman who meet in the bullpen of jury selection and spend a sultry summer’s week trespassing ever further into each other's hearts.  

What begins as a flirtation quickly evolves into something deeper, something Paul and Catherine must carry on in secret - and with the understanding that anything more than a casual crush is out of the question. But as the week draws to a close, the end of their rendezvous comes into focus, and Paul and Catherine are forced to decide whether to act on their feelings or leave the fantasy of what could have been to the annals of the past.  

By turns scintillating and philosophical, Room on the Sea is a compulsively listenable story of love, fate, and last chances.

Love and jury duty

Well-educated, mature New Yorkers fall in love at jury duty. A pleasant 2 and a half hour tale.
No problem listening to wonderful Jeff Daniels' rich, relaxed voice, but I really wish he - or the director - had taken the decision to vary the two main characters' voices.
This story is told via an extended conversation over the course of five days. There is very little "he said" and "she said" and unfortunately the narrator does not distinguish the two voices or even pause when switching between them. They flow into one another, resulting in confusion as to who is speaking when.

Meaningful dialogue

Beautiful writing. Intriguing premise. If you are into deeper meanings and intelligent and kind banter, you’ll love this novella.

Wistful, winsome charmer bathed in the dark...

...yet soothing balm of Jeff Daniel's voice. A lovely story of choices, possibilities, love, truths, sunlight and song....well worth a 2-hour indulgence devoted to nostalgia and hope....☮️

Wonderful Love Story Late in Life!

This story was so well written and intense. I was inspired that love is around us and connections always possible. Loved the book and the author.

Sweet. Touching. Relatable.

Something about this story struck a chord with me. Maybe because I’m at a certain age where I long for an experience such as this. I want to know what happens next…

Worth the Read

A lovely story of imaginary thinking. Jeff Daniel's gentle voice sweetens each line taking away the need for more.

Excellent !

The story is wonderful and I want to know more about these people! They were so real, intelligent and interesting. Jeff Daniels was perfect. I hate it when a man tries to ‘read’ in a female voice. He didn’t do that and it was much more enjoyable to listen to. Bravo!

Very wordy

There is a nice romance buried beneath mountains of rambling dialogue. Good narration, although no attempt made to differentiate male/female character voices.

Short and entertaining read

This book was good but I left wanting more from the author. Enjoyed the narration by Jeff Daniels.
Good beach read, train ride, or just relaxing read when you have 2 hours to kill.
