The <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Hamnet</i> captures an extraordinary marriage with insight and laugh-out-loud humor in what Richard Russo calls "her breakout book."</b> <p/>Daniel Sullivan leads a complicated life. A New Yorker living in the wilds of Ireland, he has children he never sees in California, a father he loathes in Brooklyn, and his wife, Claudette, is a reclusive ex-film star given to pulling a gun on anyone who ventures up their driveway. Together, they have made an idyllic life in the country, but a secret from Daniel's past threatens to destroy their meticulously constructed and fiercely protected home. Shot through with humor and wisdom, <i>This Must Be the Place</i> is an irresistible love story that crisscrosses continents and time zones as it captures an extraordinary marriage, and an unforgettable family, with wit and deep affection.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Intensely absorbing. . . .
