The Trio

'The Trio is like the love child of Normal People and Brideshead Revisited. A sublime and elegiac meditation on love, intimacy, freedom and jealousy, it is staggeringly beautiful' Francesca Reece 'Fans of Sally Rooney will adore this excellent novel' Bookseller Hugo has lived in New York for many years, mostly alone, when he receives an unexpected visit from a young woman. She is the daughter of two strangers he once knew very well, in a beautiful city he once called home, and she has come to ask him about the past. As Hugo sits across the table from her, still afraid after all this years, memories start to rise to the surface, as luminous and intoxicating as ever... From New York to Stockholm, Paris to Berlin and Belsize Park to Brighton Pier, Johanna Hedman traces the restless choreography of a love triangle. Bittersweet and euphoric, The Trio is an instant classic: a novel about the path not taken, the people we might have become and the relationships that haunt us long after they have ended. 'Delicate and beguiling... The Trio spans from Berlin to London to Paris [across] summers which feel both fleeting and endless' Esquire 'Beautifully written, emotionally acute and absorbing' Country & Town House 'Remarkably assured, vividly imagined and affecting' Irish Times
