"Enemies to lovers but make it the most poetic, sensual, spiritual, soul crushing, relationship. I absolutely DEVOURED this book. Stumbled upon it without expecting much other than fun sexy summer in the Amalfi coast vibes but I was completely blown away. I’d say this book is magical realism but I refuse to because I want to believe Aciman‘s interpretation of reincarnation is the only true correct one. I will be recommending this book to everyone I cross paths with from now on. Thank you André Aciman for your services to my soul. "Each one of us is a constellation of selves, some are not even lodged in us, but in other people, which is why sometimes we recognize others right away - because they are us in someone else’s body."" - Goodreads Reviewer

'Another masterful tale of longing and desire.'

'You don't so much read André Aciman's novels as tumble breathlessly into them.'
The Times

We spend more time than we know trying to go back. We call it fantasising, we call it dreaming. . . but we're all crawling back, each in his or her own way.

A group of college friends find themselves marooned at a luxurious hotel on the Amalfi Coast in Italy. While their boat is being repaired, they can't help but observe the daily routine of a fellow hotel guest - a mysterious, white-bearded stranger who sits on the veranda each night and smokes one cigarette, sometimes two. When the group decides to invite the elegant traveller to lunch with them, they cannot begin to imagine the miraculous abilities, strange wisdom, and a life-changing story he is about to impart to one of the friends in particular. . .

Deeply atmospheric and sensual, The Gentleman From Peru weaves achingly poignant insight into a story of regret, fate and epic love.
