Summary

Summary

A grieving widower, a determined girl, a courageous librarian and a mysterious book come together in an uplifting tale of love, loss, friendship and redemption.

Thirty-four-year-old Harry Crane works as an analyst for the US Forest Service. When his wife dies suddenly, Harry, despairing, retreats north to lose himself in the remote woods of the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. But fate intervenes in the form of a fiercely determined young girl named Oriana. She and her mother, Amanda, are struggling to pick up the pieces from their own tragic loss of Oriana’s father. Discovering Harry while roaming the forest, Oriana believes that he holds the key to righting her world.

Harry reluctantly agrees to help Oriana carry out an astonishing scheme inspired by a book given to her by the town librarian, Olive Perkins. Together, Harry and Oriana embark on a golden adventure that will fulfill Oriana’s wild dream—and ultimately open Harry’s heart to new life.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Part fairy tale and, at the same time, heartbreakingly realistic, Cohen’s third novel will entrance readers from page one, and by the end, even skeptics will agree that magic can still be found in the most unlikely places and in the most surprising people if only we’re willing to look.” Library Journal (starred review)
“In Cohen’s capable hands, the unlikely teamwork between an optimistic child and a wary adult makes for a tender tale of first loves and second chances.” Booklist
“Set in rural Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains, this redemptive tale will speak to the hearts of those who’ve lost a loved one…Don’t let the term fairy tale scare you away, for, as Cohen says, ‘Enchantment is a part of everyday existence.’ Oh, and it’s also a chuckleworthy story.” Kirkus Reviews
“Written with a vivid cinematographic eye and ear for black humor…Irreverent and boisterous, a novel about loneliness, love, and the basic human needs of even the most unlikely.” Washington Times (Seattle) on The Man in the Window
“Jon Cohen conjures magic, weaving a gentle romantic fantasy of piercing and eccentric beauty.” Boston Globe on The Man in the Window
“An offbeat love story…alternately deeply moving and laugh-aloud funny.” Good Housekeeping on The Man in the Window
