Love Interrupted

Love Interrupted

LOVE INTERRUPTED is a novel about the lives we live—and the ones we almost did, but never got to because of a choice, a delay, or a single day that guts the world.

Sweeping and intimate, it is a story of desire, grief, friendship, motherhood, and the strange truth that time keeps moving even when the heart does not. At its centre is one question: if a life becomes not what we imagined, can love still find a way to exist?

Mara, raised by the grandparents, comes of age in the final years of the Soviet Union with three fierce friends and an unshakable belief in her own invincibility. She falls in love with an Armenian boy in a way that feels inevitable—until fate intervenes, and the future she was waiting for is torn open.

What follows is a life shaped by longing, endurance, and the haunting presence of the selves that never got to exist.

Spanning decades and countries, LOVE INTERRUPTED asks one brutal question: when life is interrupted at its centre, who do you become, and how do you build a life after loss?

For readers drawn to literary fiction about longing, memory, family, and the ache of almosts.

About the Author

SOLOVEY is a Canadian writer, educator, mother of two adult children, and full-time servant to Simba, a dog who believes literary supervision is part of his household duties.

She writes about love, war, exile, memory, dangerous women, impossible choices, and the strange ways people keep living after the world has already burned once. Her stories move through thread and bloodline, crime and tenderness, heartbreak and inheritance, places where history is not a backdrop, but a soul.

Solovey returns again and again to the same stubborn question: what remains when everything else is taken? A name. A child. A scar. A story. A woman who refuses to disappear. A love that should have died but keeps breathing anyway.

Her fiction is shaped by heartbreak, immigration, motherhood, teaching, dark humour, and perseverance, the kind that is not pretty, not inspirational, and definitely not always well dressed. Sometimes survival is not rising from the ashes like a phoenix. It is what you crawl through before you get your wings back.

Her books are built from tenderness and teeth: lyrical prose, moral consequence, complicated families, men who learn too late, women who learn exactly on time, and characters who carry their wounds across borders, generations, and time.

When she is not writing, teaching, working, arguing with a sentence, fixing someone else’s crisis, or being emotionally audited by her adult children, she is probably drinking coffee, overthinking a cover, plotting another book she swore she did not have time to write, or explaining to Simba that lying in bed with a computer and typing in staccato is how a book is born.

Her work is for readers who like their fiction intimate, dramatic, unsentimental, darkly funny, and alive with the belief that even broken hearts can become dangerous things.
