Remedy for Love (Roorbach) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
A snowstorm hits a small town in Maine, trapping strangers in a cabin: Danielle, who is homeless, and Eric, a lawyer who swoops in to help her. As temps drop, tensions rise and passions flare.
Good Housekeeping


Predictably, they are trapped by the storm, woefully underprepared, and forced to weather it together. Danielle’s careening and unpredictable personality seems an odd fit for Eric’s mellow character. Roorbach does little to subvert the classic male rescue fantasy.
Publishers Weekly


Part survival tale and part romance.... Roorbach does well in the limited space, keeping the narrative tight without being claustrophobi.... There’s more depth to the fierce and mercurial Danielle than meets the eye, which gives [the characters'] interactions spark as the storm rages outside and something even more powerful develops within.
Booklist


(Starred review.) A closely observed meditation on isolation and loneliness.... [A] superbly grown-up love story.... Lyrical, reserved and sometimes unsettling—and those are the happier moments. Another expertly delivered portrait of the world from Roorbach, that poet of hopeless tangles.
