The Heart of Everything

Even death can't break the bond between father and son in an uncannily funny and poignant novel about love, loss, memory, and family by Marc Levy, the bestselling author of P.S. from Paris.There's nothing too unusual about a father asking his son for a favor—unless, of course, the father in question has been dead for five years.Thomas, a young virtuoso pianist living a quiet, carefully structured life in France, is stunned when his late father, Raymond, suddenly appears in his home. He's not a ghost in the traditional sense—he's real enough to ask for help. His request? That Thomas travel with him to San Francisco to find Camille, the long-lost love of his life.For Thomas, it's as surreal as it sounds. And yet…it might be his last-in-a-lifetime chance to know his father as a man and to square the regrets of the past. Together they embark on a five-thousand-mile journey that questions the very nature of existence, proves that love never fades, and rekindles the curious, heart-tugging bond between a parent and child that somehow endures beyond death.
