Description
As her husband prepares to accept one of the literary world’s highest honors, Joan Castleman finds herself confronting the sacrifices that have shaped their long marriage. For decades, she has set aside her own ambitions to support his career, but the glittering celebration brings buried resentments and difficult questions about authorship, loyalty, and identity to the surface. With incisive psychological insight and understated wit, the novel explores the private costs of marriage, artistic ambition, and the stories couples create to sustain themselves.
