Cynthia Rogerson, who was recently awarded the 2008 VS Pritchett Prize by the Royal Society of Literature, brilliantly captures the exhilaration, confusion and frustration of relationships in her new novel "I Love You, Goodbye". Tracking the interconnected lives of four characters living in a small Scottish village, Rogerson explores the different ways in which people, of various backgrounds, cultures and ages, approach love. Skillfully entwining observations of life in the Scottish Highlands, examinations of love in its various stages, and characterization that draws the reader in from the very first page, this is a novel that, though set in the most specific of locations, strives to answer a universal question: what is love?
