For the first time in Russian – the latest book by the modern classic David Nichols. The Guardian newspaper wrote: “His last novel, We, was longlisted for the Booker Prize, and the year before, One Day, made Nichols famous throughout the world: translated into 40 languages, sold over 5 million copies, filmed with Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturges in leading roles. And in A Hundred Thousand Times Goodbye, Nichols does what he does best: plunging the reader into a nostalgic landscape of memory, he tells a love story - touching, but without cheap sentimentality, filled with lively feeling, smart observations and, most importantly, humor." Summer 1997. Charlie Lewis is sure he failed his GCSEs and tries not to think about the future. He works part-time at a gas station, rides his bike around the neighborhood, avoids his own father, and reads old science fiction. But one day in the meadow near the Foley Manor he will meet Fran Fisher - and with her hope will come into his life. However, the price of this hope is high - acquaintance with Shakespeare. And the Theater Cooperative “At the Bottom of the Sea” lures into its nets stronger than any other sect... “The author of “One Day” again showed himself to be an incorrigible romantic. First love either lifts us to the pinnacle of bliss or plunges us into the abyss of despair, and Nichols reproduced the swings of this pendulum with perfect accuracy" (Daily Express).
