The Story of Arthur Truluv by Elizabeth Berg Book Summary

“I dare you to read this novel and not fall in love with Arthur Truluv. His story will make you laugh and cry, and will show you a love that never ends, and what it means to be truly human.”—Fannie Flagg

An emotionally powerful novel about three people who each lose the one they love most, only to find second chances where they least expect them

“Fans of Meg Wolitzer, Emma Straub, or [Elizabeth] Berg’s previous novels will appreciate the richly complex characters and clear prose. Redemptive without being maudlin, this story of two misfits lucky to have found one another will tug at readers’ heartstrings.”—Booklist

For the past six months, Arthur Moses’s days have looked the same: He tends to his rose garden and to Gordon, his cat, then rides the bus to the cemetery to visit his beloved late wife for lunch. The last thing Arthur would imagine is for one unlikely encounter to utterly transform his life. 

Eighteen-year-old Maddy Harris is an introspective girl who visits the cemetery to escape the other kids at school. One afternoon she joins Arthur—a gesture that begins a surprising friendship between two lonely souls. Moved by Arthur’s kindness and devotion, Maddy gives him the nickname “Truluv.” As Arthur’s neighbor Lucille moves into their orbit, the unlikely trio band together and, through heartache and hardships, help one another rediscover their own potential to start anew.

Wonderfully written and full of profound observations about life, The Story of Arthur Truluv is a beautiful and moving novel of compassion in the face of loss, of the small acts that turn friends into family, and of the possibilities to achieve happiness at any age.

Praise for The Story of Arthur Truluv

“For several days after [finishing The Story of Arthur Truluv], I felt lifted by it, and I found myself telling friends, also feeling overwhelmed by 2017, about the book. Read this, I said, it will offer some balance to all that has happened, and it is a welcome reminder we’re all neighbors here.”—Chicago Tribune

“Not since Paul Zindel’s classic The Pigman have we seen such a unique bond between people who might not look twice at each other in real life. This small, mighty novel offers proof that they should.”—People, Book of the Week

What a sweet book. It took me a little time to get into this book, but when I did, I was all the way in. Oh, my, what a sweet read. I’d love to find more books that gave me this kind of peace at the end.

The Story of Author Truluv. I loved this book so much I’m reluctant to recommend it...I’d hate to think someone would not find it as truly wonderful as I did. Sad and joyous at times, and characters you wish you knew.

Lovely and heart warming. I could not put this book down, once I stated reading it. It only took 2 nights and I was done. I am not traditionally a "reader." I found myself wanting my mind and eyes to read faster so I could get to to next page. I had a twinge of disappointment when it was over. You have got to read this book.

A fabulous read. Took a chance on this find .. so glad I did! I enjoyed every page. Highly recommend this book. It was heartfelt and a page-tuner.

Arthur Truluv. What a great story! I haven’t been moved this much in a long while...and I read at least one book a week. Thank you Ms. Berg for the chance to make this claim.

Wonderful. I Loved everything about this sweet story

Truly beautiful. I am so touched by the beauty and love found in the pages of this book. A simple, possible real life story that only a master writer could turn into this gem. Highly recommend and enjoyed!

Uplifting. This is a smooth read that features kind, interesting characters. If you’re feeling down this book can lift your spirits.

A heartwarming, beautiful set of lives. ...

W. Hi early A see

Wonderful, heart-warming story. Beautifully told tale of kindness, and a great story. I don’t like sentimental books, or tearjerkers. This was neither.

Loved this. As an avid reader, I have been complaining that I hadn’t read anything great all summer. Then I read this beautiful, beautiful story. Rest In Peace Arthur. I will carry you with me always.
