Description
When a respected Harvard professor’s carefully ordered marriage begins to unravel, the private tensions of family life collide with the upheavals of campus politics and a changing social landscape. As the Tates struggle over love, loyalty, independence, and the future of their family, their conflict becomes both deeply personal and a sharp reflection of an era in transition. With incisive wit and keen psychological insight, the novel explores marriage, ambition, gender expectations, and the often comic—and painful—battle between private desire and public responsibility.
