Resumen del Editor
From the best-selling author of One Day comes a bittersweet and brilliantly funny coming-of-age tale about the heart-stopping thrill of first love - and how just one summer can forever change a life.
Now: On the verge of marriage and a fresh start, 38-year-old Charlie Lewis finds that he can’t stop thinking about the past and the events of one particular summer.
Then: Sixteen-year-old Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you don’t remember in the school photograph. He’s failing his classes. At home he looks after his depressed father - when surely it should be the other way round - and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.
But when Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.
In order to spend time with Fran, Charlie must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling: The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet learned and performed in a theater troupe over the course of a summer.
Now: Charlie can’t go the altar without coming to terms with his relationship with Fran, his friends, and his former self. Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.

Historia
When Bonnie Graham arrives at her boyfriend’s apartment in London, she is horrified to discover a dead body in a pool of blood on the floor. But she doesn’t call the police. Bonnie hides the corpse and then carefully wipes away any evidence she was ever there. Bonnie is a music teacher who spent a long, hot summer in London rehearsing with a band to play at a friend’s wedding. It was supposed to be fun, but the band members find the complicated knots of their friendships - some old, some new - unraveling as the days themselves unwind.

Historia
Stewart Gilmour is back in Stonemouth. After five years in exile his presence is required at the funeral of patriarch Joe Murston, and even though the last time Stu saw the Murstons he was running for his life, staying away might be even more dangerous than turning up. An estuary town north of Aberdeen, Stonemouth, with its five mile beach, can be beautiful on a sunny day. On a bleak one it can seem to offer little more than seafog, gangsters, cheap drugs and a suspension bridge irresistible to suicides.

Douglas Petersen may be mild-mannered, but behind his reserve lies a sense of humor that seduces beautiful Connie into a second date...and eventually into marriage. Now, almost three decades later, they live more or less happily in the London suburbs with their moody seventeen year-old son, Albie. Then Connie tells him she thinks she wants a divorce. The timing couldn’t be worse. Connie has planned a month-long tour of European capitals, a chance to experience the world’s greatest works of art as a family, and she can’t bring herself to cancel. And maybe going ahead is for the best anyway? Douglas is privately convinced that this landmark trip will rekindle the romance in the marriage, and might even help him to bond with Albie. Narrated from Douglas’s endearingly honest, slyly witty, and at times achingly optimistic point of view, Us is the story of a man trying to rescue his relationship with the woman he loves, and learning how to get closer to a son who’s always felt like a stranger.

Not to mention, she's treading water in a dead-end job, her know-it-all therapist gives her advice she doesn't ask for, and the men she is surrounded by are, to be polite, subpar.

Michael is coming undone. Adrift after his wife's departure, he has begun taking himself on long, solitary walks across the English countryside. Becoming ever more reclusive, he’ll do anything to avoid his empty house. Marnie, on the other hand, is stuck. Hiding alone in her London flat, she avoids old friends and any reminders of her rotten, selfish ex-husband. Curled up with a good book, she’s battling the long afternoons of a life that feels like it’s passing her by.

Campbell Flynn, art historian, professor, and fêted fixture of the literati, always knew that when his life came crashing down, it would happen in public—yet he never imagined that a single year in London would expose so much. He’s never taken other people half as seriously as they take themselves, which is the first of his mistakes. The second is a new project: opportunistic and precisely calibrated to rake in a fortune.

Great narration!
The story was fine, but the narration of the book with all the inflections, and pauses in the right spot made it perfect!! Really enjoyed listening!

My second Nicholls book
I bought this book after reading and loving "Us" by David Nicholls. "Sweet Sorrow" has a very different tone than the latter (not as funny and humorous while also not as sad) but it reveals the same authorial talent, excellent command of the language, and a gift for telling simple, everyday stories in a fresh, interesting, engaging way.
The reader, Rory Kinnear, is of course brilliant... BUT his choppy way of enunciating gets old very quickly and ends up being dreadfully tiresome.
I would highly recommend this book.

A delight in every way!
When I’m in between authors, I tend to default to “who are my favorite readers?” While Rory Kinnear is an excellent actor, he is one of the finest readers of audiobooks I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. Listening to this book was like listening to what I can only describe as a multi-dimensional, one-man radio play.
I had never heard of this author before, but with the combination of Rory Kinnear being listed as this novel’s reader and an average rating above 4 stars, I felt like this would be a good option. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. To be surprised and delighted, with no preconceived notion of the storyline, is truly my favorite type of audiobook adventure, and this was one such experience.
I walk 50 miles a week and often passively listen to a variety of novels that are like comfort food. This novel had me walking down the street, sometimes doubled over with laughter. Between this author’s authenticity and wit, performed with Rory Kinnear’s perfect comedic timing and sarcastic pitch, I sometimes felt like I was watching a quirky, British Rom Com, rather than listening to an audiobooks while trudging mile after mile in hear of Central Phoenix.
I cannot recommend this novel enough. It’s funny, sweet, heartbreaking, poignant, warm, and nostalgic; a wonderful read!
