Four Letters Of Love

A new edition of Niall Williams' acclaimed novel, Four Letters of Love, a life-affirming paean to human folly, fate, and the miracle of love.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Helena Bonham Carter, Pierce Brosnan, and Gabriel Byrne.

"When I was twelve years old God spoke to my father for the first time. God didn't say much. He told my father to be a painter and left it at that..." So begins Niall Williams' magical tale about love and destiny.

Nicholas Coughlan and Isabel Gore were made for each other—but fate doesn't always take the easiest or the most obvious route to true love. For a start, Nicholas and Isabel have never met, and nor are they likely to, without some kind of divine intervention. But as God, ghosts, a series of coincidences, and seemingly chance encounters conspire to bring the couple together, other—often more human—forces attempt to keep them apart.

'What will be, will be,' of course, but that doesn't guarantee a happy-ever-after ending, nor answer the question, 'Will they, won’t they?'

Written in a lyrical, lilting tone, Four Letters of Love is a glorious, uplifting story about faith, seizing the moment, believing in your instincts, and acting on impulse—and following your heart, no matter where it may lead.
