Пра гэту электронную кнігу
The stunning second novel from the bestselling author of Everything Is Beautiful and Everything Hurts
''Poignant, redemptive, electrifying.' - Catherine Chidgey
A novel about friendship and betrayal, ambition and grief, Good Things Come and Go is also a study of homecoming and heartbreak and an ode to taking risks no matter the consequences.
After the death of their young daughter, Penny Whittaker and Adam Riggs are struggling. Penny's lifelong dream of becoming a successful artist has stalled, and Riggs, battling an addiction to prescription painkillers, is coming to grips with the end of his glittering professional skateboarding career. When Penny is unexpectedly offered a chance to exhibit her work at an Auckland gallery, she accepts, despite her reservations.
At the same time, Jamie Flannery suddenly finds himself out of work and out of options. To recuperate, he moves to his uncle's abandoned bach on the Coromandel, and when his childhood friend Riggs calls out of the blue the three friends reunite.
At first, being together feels just like old times. But secrets from their shared past threaten their newfound peace, forcing them to reckon with their history and themselves.
'A tender, tough story of loss and renewal, love and rage, the promise of youth and the aching regrets of middle age ... a powerful reminder that inside every one of us is a dream worth chasing, no matter how much time or talent has been laid to waste.'' - Noelle McCarthy
