Description
Rebecca Davitch has spent years building a life around family—managing the needs, smoothing the frictions, and keeping everything running—until a quiet discontent suddenly takes hold. When her husband Will seems more distant than ever, Rebecca finds herself longing for the past, imagining what might happen if she could rekindle the affection they once shared. But as she tries to reshape their present through memory and small, hopeful gestures, she discovers how stubborn habits, unspoken disappointments, and the realities of middle age can resist even the gentlest reinvention. With Anne Tyler’s signature warmth and wry insight into ordinary lives, this novel explores love, regret, and the delicate work of growing up—again and again—without losing the people we thought we’d always understand.
