GEORGE AND LIZZIE
This debut novel by America's most beloved librarian, Nancy Pearl, features an unlikely marriage at its defining moment.
George and Lizzie have radically different understandings of what love and marriage should be. George grew up in a warm and loving family in Tulsa, Oklahoma; his father an orthodontist, his mother a stay-at-home mom. While Lizzie grew up as the only child of two famous psychologists who related to Lizzie more as an in-house experiment than a child to love. Despite their differences, they've always been united by friends, family and their shared appreciation of Lizzie's devastating sense of humor. But when a dark secret from Lizzie's past resurfaces, she'll find out the true mettle of the relationship she and George have so painstakingly built over a decade together.
An emotionally riveting debut by America’s most beloved librarian, George and Lizzie is an intimate story of love, adulthood and the making and unravelling of an unlikely marriage.
A CULTURAL ICON: Nancy Pearl has been a librarian for more than three decades. A regular commentator about books on NPR's Morning Edition, Pearl is beloved around America for her charm and wisdom. The New York Times calls her "the talk of librarian circles” and readers can't get enough of her recommendations while bookstores and libraries offer standing room only whenever she visits. Since the release of a Librarian Action Figure modeled in her likeness, Nancy Pearl has become a rock star among readers and the tastemaker people turn to when deciding what to read next.
A SOPHISTICATED EXPLORATION OF AN IMPERFECT MARRIAGE: GEORGE AND LIZZIE is a sharp character study of a husband and wife whose pasts loom over their marriage. Pearl expertly crafts a smart, edgy and unexpectedly funny exploration of the dark secrets that can threaten even the most solid relationships.
PERFECT FOR BOOKCLUBS: Beautifully written, GEORGE AND LIZZIE will appeal to readers of upmarket fiction and to bookclubs looking for gripping yet accessible reads in the vein of Lisa Jewell’s The House We Grew Up In. Fans will love our complicated and vulnerable protagonists, and with meaty topics to mine about first loves, lasting love, and growing up, bookclubs will have a field day with George and Lizzie.
A WELL CONNECTED, HIGLY PROMOTEABLE AUTHOR: Pearl is active on social media, with more than 12,000 followers on Twitter. On her monthly television show, Book Lust with Nancy Pearl, she has interviewed authors as diverse as E. L. Doctorow, Elizabeth Strout, Ann Patchett, and Terry Pratchett. Her many friends in the author community are chomping at the bit to provide advance blurbs for Nancy’s book and to support her in their social medial channels.

Born and raised in Detroit, she received her library degree (MLS) in 1967 from the University of Michigan. She also received an MA in history from Oklahoma State University in 1977.
