The Woman Who Wouldn't Book

The beloved actor and screenwriterâ??s second novel, set in 1903, stars a young concert violinist named Jeremy Webb, who one day goes from accomplished adagios with the Cleveland Orchestra to having a complete breakdown on stage. If he hadnâ??t poured a glass of water down the throat of a tuba, maybe he wouldnâ??t have been sent to a health resort in Badenweiler, Germany. But itâ??s in that serene place that Jeremy meets Clara Mulpas, whom he tries his hardest to seduce. Clara is so beautiful that Jeremy finds it impossible to keep from trying to find a chink in her extraordinary reserve and elegance. He finds himself reflexively flirting to get a reactionâ??after all, a tease and a wink have always worked before, with women back home. But flirting probably isnâ??t the best way to appeal to a woman who was married to a dumb brute and doesnâ??t want to have anything more to do with men. Jeremy isnâ??t sure how to press his caseâ??but he wonâ??t give up. Wilderâ??s prose is elegant, spare and affecting. But itâ??s his romanticâ??s eye for the intense emotions that animate a real love story that makes The Woman Who Wouldnâ??t an unforgettable book.Read More
