We here at Dog-Eared Books have been fans of Nickolas Butler for a long time, so we are beyond excited to host him for the release of his latest title, a swoony second-chance romance, A Forty Year Kiss. Come celebrate the release of Nickolas’s latest, learn about this later-in-life love story, and listen to a lively conversation with the author himself.
The Book: From the critically acclaimed author of Shotgun Lovesongs comes an exquisitely written, small-town story about one couple’s hard-won second chance at love, forty years after their divorce.
Charlie and Vivian parted ways after just four years of marriage. Too many problems, too many struggles, even though the love didn’t quite die. When Charlie returns to Wisconsin forty years later, he’s not sure what he’ll find. He is sure of one thing — he must try to reconnect with Vivian to pick up the broken pieces of their past. But forty years is a long time. It’s forty years of other relationships, forty years of building new lives, and forty years of long-held regrets, mistakes, and painful secrets.
A brave and triumphant exploration of redemption and sunset triumph, A Forty Year Kiss is a once-in-a-lifetime love story, written with dazzling lyricism and remarkable clarity of spirit, from a celebrated author at the top of his game. It’s a literary valentine that promises to be a love story for the ages.
Nickolas Butler was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, raised in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and educated at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Iowa Writer’s Workshop. He is the author of six books, most recently A Forty Year Kiss, and his writing has been praised by The New York Times, People Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and many others. He lives on sixteen acres of land in rural Wisconsin adjacent to a buffalo farm. He is married and has two children. Find him online at https://nickolasbutler.com/
