From the bestselling author of Shotgun Lovesongs comes a rugged feel-good valentine, a small-town novel for readers who still believe in sunset triumph and second chances.

Charlie and Vivian parted ways after just four years of marriage. Too many problems, too many struggles. When Charlie returns to Wisconsin forty years later, he’s not sure what he’ll find. He is sure of one thing—he must try to reconnect with Vivian to pick up the broken pieces of their past. But forty years is a long time. It’s forty years of other relationships, forty years of building new lives, and forty years of long-held regrets, mistakes, and painful secrets. An accomplished exploration of starting over and sunset triumph, A Forty-Year Kiss is a novel in the tradition of Kent Haruf's Our Souls at Night. This is a literary valentine that promises to become a love-story for the ages.

"Nick Butler only writes good books, but this is the one that sticks most tightly in my brain and heart." -- Leif Enger, bestselling author of Peace Like a River and I Cheerfully Refuse
