Comeback Love with Peter Golden


Do you believe in true love and soul mates?


Absolutely. But it takes time to value someone else’s emotional security as much as your own. That’s what I think of as true love.

What was your inspiration for Comeback Love?

A desire to explore my own life, the lives of people I knew, and to understand more clearly the most important change in American life since World War II: the changing role of women.

Which came first the characters or the story?

The characters.

How much research did you do for this book?

I’ve been researching and writing about post-World War II America for many years. I also lived through the years I’ve written about. I guess the short answer to your questions is “A lot.”

How did you meet your wife?

At a writer’s group.

Can you tell people why they should read Comeback Love?

If they enjoy a moving story about men and women, and all of the challenges they face together today and in the past.


Can you share what you are currently working on?

I’ve already sold my next novel to Atria. It’s a romantic saga that follows two intertwining families - one Jewish, one African-American - over three generations, spanning The Great Depression and World War II to the Sixties

Thank you. I enjoyed every moment of Comeback Love.

You’re welcome. I can’t tell how wonderful it is to hear from someone who enjoyed my novel. And thanks for the chance to answer some questions.

  Edna and Leo, a perpetually warring, tyrannical pair in their 80s, begin wintering In Mexico, where they abandon their usual prudence to embrace adventure and a bevy of sketchy new friends. Soon, Edna adopts a pair of shyster builders whom she trusts over her own architect-daughter Elizabeth, and a farcical house results. Blithely indifferent to the calamities that result, the pair refuse all help from their too-compliant only child. Later, following her mother’s sudden death, Elizabeth’s wise, principled father attempts to fill his late wife’s shoes with a string of loopy, live-in housekeepers―with privileges, he hopes. Before it is over the Mexican escapade will bring down the kind of disasters commonly found in pulp fiction. Why can’t Elizabeth stop any of this from happening? No matter the madness, she cannot confront her parents any more than she ever could. In the end, the surprising way in which they come undone reveals just what they spent their lives trying to hide, thereby
