Description
In 1968, on the cusp of social upheaval, two freshmen meet at Columbia and form a bond that begins as roommateship and quickly becomes something more enduring—and more complicated. As their lives diverge, they are forced to confront what they owe to one another, what they choose to keep, and what they must let go. With sharp emotional intelligence and a quietly incisive voice, Sigrid Nunez explores friendship, identity, and the shifting meanings of love, ambition, and belonging. Blending intimate character study with the texture of a defining era, the novel asks how we measure a life when time, distance, and change keep rewriting the terms of connection.
