About this ebook

From Algonquin, the original publisher...

In this engaging novel, Terry Pringle chronicles the ups and downs, the joys and ordeals of two people who discover that, in Lori's words, "weddings don't involve any real commitment because most of the time the people involved don't even know each other and don't know what marriage is like. The commitment has to come later, somewhere down the line, when they figure out what they've gotten into."

From reviews...

"Another irreverent winner about another institution. He pins down modern marriage in all its anorexic ambiguity, then fortifies it with maturing love, good faith, and common sense and releases it to fly again, healthier and wiser." --Chicago Tribune

"Reading this sweet novel by the author of The Preacher's Boy is like watching an ant struggle to carry a crumb across a patio, an experience both super-ordinary and quietly cosmic." --Publishers Weekly

"Should be required reading for young adults contemplating marriage, and will be a delightful excursion down memory lane for those already on its roller coaster ride." -- Orlando Sentinel

A Fine Time to Leave Me is more than just another good story and Terry Pringle is more than just another good writer. And readers would be more than smart to pick this one up for good summer reading." --Grand Rapids Press

"Scene after scene is rich and evocative, no matter how brief." --The State, Columbia, S.C.
