Go Gentle - Large Print by Maria Semple (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Adora Hazzard has life all figured out. A Stoic philosopher and divorcee, she lives amongst vibrant friends and everlasting culture on New York's Upper West Side, and works for the ultra-wealthy and secretive Lockwood family as a private ethics tutor for their tween boys. Her main life hack--and the key to her own enviable happiness--is to desire only what you have. Everything else life slings at you? Don't just accept it; love it. Amor Fati. Adora believes it so deeply she has it tattooed on her wrist.

When Adora meets Digby, a handsome stranger at the ballet, she finds herself loving fate, indeed. But soon, she's pulled into a world of secret rendezvous, black-market art deals, and international intrigue. Driven by an unexpected and maddening desire, Adora risks reputation, job and hard-won serenity for the feelings Digby has awoken in her.

Breaking categorical boundaries while cementing her presence as a publishing mainstay with another wildly witty and unforgettable heroine, Semple has marked herself with yet another phenomenal feat--one that is sure to endure through the next decade.
