The fates of two families--one of a successful artist, Bill, and the other of Leo, the art critic who discovered him--are intertwined over many years of friendship. When his son dies in an accident, Leo's grief overwhelms him. Then Bill dies of a heart attack, Bill's son Mark gets involved in an unsavory downtown club world, and Leo is getting older and finding that the world that was once so magical and lucky has become a very different place. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Publisher's Note
The long friendship between art historian Leo Hertzberg and artist Bill Wechsler leads to a growing involvement between their two families as they live in the same New York building, share a summer home in Vermont, and deal with the joys, sorrows, tragedies, and loss that transform their lives.

Industry reviews
"A mannered, somewhat formulaic account of a critic's long and complicated friendship with an artist, presented by Hustvedt with just a touch of melodrama amid the melancholy....Well-narrated plot and credible people...."
Kirkus Reviews  (01/01/2003)

"[T]hese characters have reassuringly graspable and lovable peripheries. Their surfaces are convincingly marked. Benevolence, curiosity and red-blooded appetite guide their actions. This is a novel of such complexity and power that when you get to the end of it you feel the process of deciphering has only just begun. It is a love story with the grip and suspense of a thriller. It makes you ponder human existence with a peculiar mixture of stoicism and wonder."
Times Literary Supplement - Siri Hustvedt (02/07/2003)

"Hustvedt is an accomplished art critic and essayist, and her knowledge is put to good narrative use....But her real canvas is philosophical, and here she explores the nature of identity in a structure of crystalline complexity....WHAT I LOVED is a rare thing, a page turner written at full intellectual stretch, serious but witty, large-minded and morally engaged."
New York Times Book Review - Janet Burroway (03/09/2003)

"Hustvedt is terrific at evoking the milieu of the haute bourgeoisie--the house in Vermont, the wine-drenched meals, the migraines. But, as a narrator, Leo...is full of orotund declarations about life and love that muffle the well-constructed plot."
New Yorker  (03/10/2003)

"Hustvedt's intricate plot and the impressive loose brushwork of her characterisation...attempt to capture that which is naturally elusive....This is not a book for those who like clear-cut answers. If you can tolerate doubt, Hustvedt's unshowy prose will guide you through a maze of thought-provoking ideas. Only the final few pages break the spell: in summarising how the surviving characters have fared in the intervening years, Hustvedt may have betrayed that she...cannot resist tying up loose ends."
Literary Review - Lucy Beresford (06/01/2003)
