Description
Jo Becker's seemingly idyllic life is disrupted by the reappearance of an old housemate, dredging up memories of a tumultuous summer in 1968. As she delves deeper into her past, Jo finds herself increasingly drawn to the person she once was, grappling with a dark secret that threatens to unravel her present. This novel masterfully explores themes of secrecy, betrayal, and the enduring power of the past, questioning the nature of identity and the choices that shape us. Sue Miller's signature style shines through, weaving a poignant and quietly gripping narrative about the impulses that can fracture lives and the complex journey toward forgiveness.
