Back then, he thought she was \"the living night--all the glamour and potential of a New York night when you're 25.\" Now he's twice divorced and happy to be alone--so happy he's writing a book about it. Then he meets June again. \"And here she was with a raincoat over the back of the chair talking about getting a divorce and saying she's done with relationships. Her ice-calm eyes are the same, the same her glory of curls.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJacket Weather\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eis about awakening to love--dizzying, all-consuming, worldview-shaking love--when it's least expected. It's also about remaining alert to today's pleasures--exploring the city, observing the seasons, listening to the guys at the gym--while time is slipping away. Told in fragments of narrative, reveries, recipes, bits of conversation and snatches of weather, the book collapses a decade in Mike and June's life and shifts a reader to a glowing nostalgia for the present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soft Skull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593766931\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mike Decapite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40994723791029,"sku":"9781593766931","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_144ddb7c-7f0a-42d3-b639-d120336b8073.jpg?v=1631627678","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/jacket-weather-9781593766931","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
