Description
An American literature professor spending a research year in London finds her carefully ordered life unsettled by an unexpected romance and the complicated attractions of life abroad. As she and a younger colleague navigate affairs of the heart, academic ambition, and cultural displacement, familiar assumptions about identity and belonging begin to shift. Witty, observant, and rich in social detail, this incisive novel explores love, exile, self-deception, and the often surprising distance between how people see themselves and how others see them.
