The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer
The Confessions of Max Tivoli

exjerseygirl, January 1, 2010

When I saw the trailer for"Benjamin Button", I thought more than a little of the plot was lifted from this book. A poetic, beautifully written story about a man who ages backward from old age to youth and loves and loses the same woman, again and again. As a child, he meets and falls in love with the young girl he will love the rest of his life, meeting her two more times over the years, only once when they seem to be close in age and can be together. A sad meditation on love and friendship that will stay with you.
