( Details ) Canadian Author | ISBN: 0002005050 Published: February 2003 | Published by Harpercollins Canada, Limited From the Publisher Louise Kirk learns about love and loss at an early age. When she is nine years old, her former beauty queen mother "disappears," leaving a note that reads only–and incorrectly–"Louise knows how to work the washing machine." Not long after, the Richters and their adopted son, Abel, move in across the street. Louise's immediate devotion to the exotic and motherly Mrs. Richter is quickly transferred to her nature-loving, precociously intelligent son. From this childhood friendship evolves a love that will bind Louise and Abel for the rest of their lives. Though Abel moves away, Louise's attachment becomes only more fixed as she grows up. Separations are followed by reunions, but with every turn of their fractured relationship, Louise discovers that she cannot get Abel to love her as fiercely and exclusively as she loves him. Only when Louise comes face to face with another great loss is she finally forced to confront the costs of abandoning herself to another. Skilfully interweaving the stories of Abel and Louise at different ages, Gowdy produces a powerful exploration of the many incarnations of love: a motherless daughter who yearns to be adopted, a husband eternally linked to a wife who has left him, a girl bewitched by the peculiar boy next door, a woman who refuses to let go of a magnetic, elusive man. Haunting and profound, The Romantic is a story about love in all its exquisite variations.

The Seattle Times, August 03, 2002: Toronto - Indigo Books & Music and a group representing Canada's independent booksellers said they will challenge in court a government decision letting Amazon.com set up a Canadian Web site. Indigo, Canada's largest book chain, and the Canadian Booksellers Association said Amazon.com has violated rules that bar non-Canadians from controlling bookstores. Seattle-based Amazon.com is paying Assured Logistics, a unit of government-owned Canada Post, to run a Toronto-area warehouse and deliver books, music and movies ordered through the month-old Canadian site, Amazon.ca. That way, Amazon doesn't operate a bookstore in Canada. "The Heritage Department has confirmed Amazon.ca is operating in accordance with Canadian laws," said company spokeswoman Kristin Schaefer.
