This is a Love Story by Jessica Soffer 

For fifty years, Abe and Jane have been coming to Central Park, as young lovers, as exhausted parents, as artists watching their careers take flight. But now, Jane is dying, and Abe is recounting their life together as a way of keeping them going: the parts they knew - their courtship and early marriage, their blossoming creative lives - and the parts they didn’t always want to know - the young student of Abe’s looking for a love story of her own, and their son, Max, who believes his mother chose art over parenthood and who avoids love and intimacy at all costs. Told in various points of view, these voices weave in and out to paint a portrait as complicated and essential as love itself.
