Description

After a devastating accident, Alison is left struggling with grief, guilt, and a growing distance from her husband, Charlie. As Charlie, Alison, their lifelong friend Claire, and Claire’s husband Ben confront private disappointments, shifting ambitions, and difficult choices, the bonds between them begin to change in unexpected ways. Told through four intertwined perspectives, this emotionally resonant novel explores friendship, marriage, infidelity, identity, and the stories people create to make sense of their lives. It is a thoughtful meditation on loss and the possibility of renewal when everything familiar has been called into question.
