About this audiobook
A joyful and tender drama of one “family so richly drawn, so deep and complex,
that it contains the whole world” (Emma Straub), from beloved author Rebecca
Kauffman
A modern story of family, I’ll Come to You chronicles intersecting lives over the
course of one year—1995—anchored by the anticipation and arrival of a child.
With empathy, insight, and humor, Rebecca Kauffman explores overlapping
narratives involving a couple whose struggle to become pregnant has both
softened and hardened them; a woman whose husband of forty years has left her
for reasons he’s unwilling to share and the man who is now disastrously
attempting to woo her; and a couple in denial about a looming health crisis as well
as their son who is fumbling toward middle age and can’t stop lying. Ultimately,
these storylines converge into a dramatic and harrowing turn of events. With
heart, wit, and courage, and through pain, these characters traverse territory that
both challenges and defines the bonds of family.
“I’ll Come to You is a deft, engrossing novel, full of subtle humor and compassion.
In scenes as precise and intimate as lighted windows on a dark street, Rebecca
Kauffman explores those everyday encounters and accidents that can loom so
large they overwhelm a life.”—Sofia Samatar, author of Opacities: On Writing and
the Writing Life
