Debut Novel Presents ‘Sincere Exploration of Love, Monogamy”
Author to Speak in Brooklyn
After his American mistress leaves him to marry someone else, British artist Richard Haddon finds himself detached from his life with his daughter and wife, yearning for his extramarital partner to return. Amid his depression, he learns that a painting he had originally created for his wife when she was pregnant sells, causing him to question where his heart should truly lie. In this self-examining, twisted love story, Richard tries to prove that he is worthy of a second chance, while trying to convince himself that he deserves one.
Courtney Maum’s first novel, “I Am Having So Much Fun Here Without You,” has claimed several positive reviews since its release this year, including becoming one of Glamour’s “10 Best Books to Add to Your Summer Reading List Right This Second”. Maum describes her book as encompassing the major themes of forgiveness, compassion, love and faith.
Maum will be appearing for a panel discussion and book signing at the Slice Literary Conference in Brooklyn on Sept. 7. The conference will be held at 4:15 p.m. at St. Francis College.
