Richard Aronowitz Book Launch: 'It's Just the Beating of my Heart'

Event Date: 04/03/2010

Richard Aronowitz Book Launch: 'It's Just the Beating of my Heart'Waking each morning alone, John Stack finds solace in long, alcohol-fuelled walks through the unchanging landscape of a Gloucestershire valley. Linda, his wife, has left him and his once golden reputation as an art dealer has faded. The only glimmer of light for John comes through the weekend visits of his twelve-year-old daughter, Bryony. An encounter with a beautiful and enigmatic neighbour may offer the chance of a new beginning for John, if only he can quieten his suspicions about the death of her husband. Told in sparkling poetic language, It’s Just the Beating of My Heart is a story of loss, heartbreak and hope in a world peopled by ghosts.

Richard Aronowitz was born in 1970 to an English father and a German-Jewish mother and grew up in rural Gloucestershire. He studied Modern Languages at Durham and Heidelberg universities and Art History at the Courtauld Institute in London. He works as a Restitution Specialist at Sotheby’s in London and lives in Cambridge. It's Just the Beating of my Heart is his eagerly awaited second novel.
