How do you ask for a second chance from the person whose world you shattered? How do you make things right? Let Me Make It Right is an intense novel – about love, loss, and second chances – with a little forgiveness on the side. Nathan would rather rip out his heart than hurt the woman who ignites a fire in him with every look, every touch. But that’s exactly what happened when an unlucky encounter burdens him with a wife and an unplanned family, turning his dream into a nightmare named Tina. Teale fell in love with Nathan the moment they kissed. Their lives, their plans, and their heartbeats were in sync. But a phone call revealed how wrong she was, forcing her to make choices for herself and the child she carried. Tina loved only one man, and it wasn’t Nathan. When she discovers Teale is back in Nathan’s life, she vows to make them pay. An unplanned trip throws Nathan and Teale back together. Is there still enough love left between them? Choices will be made. Lines will be drawn. Together, they will face challenges that no one saw coming. Sometimes fate does decide when the time is right.

From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes this stunning work of soaring imagination. Born in early twentieth-century Shanghai, Banks was orphaned at the age of nine after the separate disappearances of his parents. Now, more than twenty years later, he is a celebrated figure in London society; yet the investigative expertise that has garnered him fame has done little to illuminate the circumstances of his parents' alleged kidnappings. Banks travels to the seething, labyrinthine city of his memory in hopes of solving the mystery of his own painful past, only to find that war is ravaging Shanghai beyond recognition—and that his own recollections are proving as difficult to trust as the people around him. Masterful, suspenseful and psychologically acute, When We Were Orphans offers a profound meditation on the shifting quality of memory, and the possibility of avenging one’s past.
