Peter Cavelti's latest novel, The Sweet Spot, deftly chronicles the world of Jack Grayson, middle-aged, prosperous, intensely self-aware, vulnerable and perpetually searching for the truth of himself. Following a life-altering incident, Grayson finds himself on a psychological roller-coaster, particularly as his marriage breaks down and he begins a relationship with another searcher, the artist Ros Dexter. Together Jack and Ros explore thorny questions about the nature of relationships, the possibilities of love and the role of trauma in making us who we are and isolating us from others.
The Sweet Spot is a highly readable epic, pairing up Cavelti's exploration of the inner lives of his characters with sensitive evocations of their external adventures in landscapes ranging from Colorado's wintry mountain ruggedness to the tropical allure of Mexico's beaches.
An epic psychological roller-coaster, exploring the mysteries of relationships, the possibilities of love and the role of trauma in isolating us from the truth of ourselves.
