When Will is 15 years old, he sees Nora on her grandmother's balcony and is immediately drawn to her. Due to circumstances beyond his control, he leaves without really meeting her and goes back home to a family in crisis. How his parents handle this crisis changes Will and gives him the wrong idea about what love is. When he inherits his estranged uncle's apartment, Will returns to the place where he first saw Nora. He has no idea what is in store for him as he seeks to get in and out of his situation with as little fuss as possible.
This book was a beautiful story of learning about what love is. Will and Nora have had different experiences with love that have affected how they view their feelings for each other. Love is not tied up in things familiar. Love is not all consuming and excluding all others. Love at first is not all there is. This was a beautiful book and I look forward to reading it again because I know I will get even more from it than I did at first reading.
