Description
In a small, shifting community, a young woman’s life becomes the center of a tense, unraveling story shaped by desire, secrecy, and the long shadows of the past. As relationships strain and loyalties are tested, the narrative follows how ordinary choices can harden into fate—revealing the ways people use love, power, and storytelling to survive. With Russell Banks’s characteristic clarity and moral intensity, the book explores themes of identity, class, and the fragile line between tenderness and control. Blending realism with psychological depth, it offers a compelling portrait of how a single “darling” can become both refuge and battleground.
