What I Loved
Audiobook
Book • 2003
What I Loved begins in 1975 when art historian Leo Hertzberg discovers an extraordinary painting by unknown artist Bill Wechsler in a SoHo gallery.
The two men embark on a lifelong friendship, and their families—including their wives Erica and Violet, and their sons Matthew and Mark—become deeply intertwined through shared apartments, summer homes, and intellectual exchange.
Over twenty-five years, Leo's narrative traces how these intimate bonds are tested first by sudden tragedy and then by a monstrous duplicity that slowly surfaces.
The novel combines the intimacy of a family saga with the suspense of a thriller, exploring themes of art, love, loss, betrayal, and psychology.
