Novelist In Love is Adam's debut work of fiction. Charles Cooper, a brilliant middle-aged novelist, has not visited Alice's grave for seven years, and this incurable regret leads to him sleeplessness. It's May 21st, and he is on his way to give a commencement address to the graduating students of Newhill University. He is driving his wife, Hannah, with him; they have been married for thirteen years. All Hannah wants is a cure for his condition, and all Charles allows it to decay because he believes something is holding him back from starting the medication or therapy. Eventually, on the way, once for all, when Charles takes Hannah back into his classical time of friendship, young love, and grief with meticulousness, implying the real cause of sleeplessness and then, when he finally visits the cemetery where Alice is buried—until then he finds the earth-shattering plot twist.
