“Gint Aras’ writing is infused with a rare sensitivity for the thousands of seemingly trivial things that give meaning to life. He invites us to laugh at his hero, then sneaks him into our hearts.”
Dan Vyleta, author of Pavel & I

Abstract:
In this tragicomedy, Gint Aras’ hapless and marijuana-dazed narrator, Andrew Nowak, is seduced by a bombshell internet bride. The mysterious and wealthy Audra soon consumes the twenty year-old boy’s imagination, a welcome distraction from his needy mother and sister. Wild and hilarious adventures await Andy in Lithuania when he sells his possessions to follow Audra abroad. But he soon finds himself trapped penniless in her world of illness, regret and sex. Stumbling backwards into a romance he never sees coming, Andy must deal with Audra’s narcissism and grapple to understand her, a struggle that just might destroy him.

Fast-paced, yet easy-going, this novel evokes a variety of emotions and dispels mundane routines. Following the travels and thoughts of Andrew Nowak will leave a lasting impression on you. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, you’ll question, you’ll believe! Each chapter stands alone and you can definitely go back to read them again at random. If you have traveled through Europe, such as small countries like Lithuania, or lived in Chicago, especially the Berwyn area, you will appreciate the vivid descriptions of the neighborhood venues and local inhabitants. Witty conversations mixed with eccentric personalities will touch your heart and shake your soul. If you have ever dared to ask and risked to want more, or ventured out to change your life and survived even when your world was turned upside down, then you will enjoy this tale of bravery, compassion, determination, and hope.
