How does the title, which is borrowed from the famous Macbeth speech, relate to the themes of the story as a whole?
Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before. Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. What are your thoughts about it? Let me know below! The Synopsis
But I also felt something was missing-I didn’t love the friendship and ‘love’ story between Sam and Sadie. On one hand, I did quite enjoy it and thought it was impactful in certain sections. I have such mixed thoughts about this one.
