Reviews
" They're Going to Love You is my idea of a perfect book. It is about art, life, death, love, and family and it is beautifully and sharply written. I cried several times while reading it, and was sorry to let it go when I was done. I cannot recommend it enough." -- Jami Attenberg , New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins and All This Could Be Yours "Meg Howrey's They're Going to Love You is swift and sinewy and intense--like the ballet dancers who populate it. It's about vocation, longing, and complicated family love, and it's guaranteed to make you weep." --Maile Meloy , author of Do Not Become Alarmed "Reading this potent novel, I kept thinking of the Elvis Costello quote: 'Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.' In much the same way, dramatizing the dance world is no easy feat, and Meg Howrey has stuck the landing. They're Going to Love You is a portrait of passion and beauty at its most electric and unflinching. You're going to love this book." -- Lauren Mechling , author of How Could She "Howrey takes the purity of expression in dance and imbues it with all the messy subtleties of great writing to create something new and exquisite. An elegant and deeply affecting tale." -- Steven Rowley , author of The Guncle " They're Going to Love You is a devastating and revealing look behind the scenes at the true cost of art--creating it, quitting it, making a life of it. Howrey's moving, taut prose has captured the sacredness and profanity of ballet, family, and of life itself." -- Chloe Angyal , author of Turning Pointe " They're Going to Love You is a deeply beautiful book. A lot of writers dream of achieving something like this novel, where art and life and love all seem to be addressed in a way we haven't read before. It acknowledges its forebears ( Portrait of a Lady , for example) with a cultured lightness of touch and with a confidence to converse with novelists (and dancers) that have come before. Writing about dance and making it feel present, alive, and important must be among the trickiest of writerly skills! Meg Howrey choreographs fragile wisdom, passing time, parents and children and lovers and regrets and ambition elegantly and movingly." -- Arthur Phillips , author of The Tragedy of Arthur, " They're Going to Love You is my idea of a perfect book. It is about art, life, death, love, and family and it is beautifully and sharply written. I cried several times while reading it, and was sorry to let it go when I was done. I cannot recommend it enough." -- Jami Attenberg , New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins and All This Could Be Yours " They're Going to Love You is a deeply beautiful book.

Synopsis
A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF 2022 - A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH - A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK - A gripping novel set in the world of professional ballet, New York City during the AIDS crisis, and present-day Los Angeles. - "Beautiful...[A] finger-trap puzzle of a plot."-- New York Times Book Review " They're Going to Love You is my idea of a perfect book. It is about art, life, death, love, and family and it is beautifully and sharply written. I cried several times while reading it, and was sorry to let it go when I was done. I cannot recommend it enough." --Jami Attenberg, New York Times bestselling author of The Middlesteins and All This Could Be Yours Throughout her childhood, Carlisle Martin got to see her father, Robert, for only a few precious weeks a year when she visited the brownstone apartment in Greenwich Village he shared with his partner, James. Brilliant but troubled, James gave Carlisle an education in all that he held dear in life--literature, music, and, most of all, dance. Seduced by the heady pull of mentorship and hoping to follow in the footsteps of her mother--a former Balanchine ballerina--Carlisle's aspiration to become a professional ballet dancer bloomed. But above all else, she longed to be asked to stay at the house on Bank Street, to be a part of Robert and James's sophisticated world, even as the AIDS crisis brings devastation to their community. Instead, a passionate love affair created a rift between the family, with shattering consequences that reverberated for decades to come. Nineteen years later, when Carlisle receives a phone call that unravels the events of that fateful summer, she sees with new eyes how her younger self has informed the woman she's become. They're Going to Love You is a gripping and gorgeously written novel of heartbreaking intensity. With psychological precision and a masterfully revealed secret at its heart, it asks what it takes to be an artist in America, and the price of forgiveness, of ambition, and of love., A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF 2022 * A NEW YORK TIMES BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH * A BELLETRIST BOOK CLUB PICK * A gripping novel set in the world of professional ballet, New York City during the AIDS crisis, and present-day Los Angeles. * "Beautiful...[A] finger-trap puzzle of a plot."-- New York Times Book Review " They're Going to Love You is my idea of a perfect book.
