Double Fault
Tennis has been Willy Novinsky's one love ever since she first picked up a racquet at the age of four. Eric becomes Willy's first passion off the court, and eventually they marry. A middle-ranked pro at twenty-three, she's met her match in Eric Oberdorf, a low-ranked, untested Princeton grad who also intends to make his mark on the international tennis circuit.
But while wedded life begins well, full-tilt competition soon puts a strain on their relationship--and an unexpected accident sends driven and gifted Willy sliding irrevocably toward resentment, tragedy, and despair.From acclaimed author Lionel Shriver comes a brilliant and unflinching novel about the devastating cost of prizing achievement over love. --Kirkus
