Anne Roiphe's splendid new novel is a refreshingly authentic,
vivid, and often funny view of the way people meet and fall in
love. Dazzling and delighting readers with her portrayal of
character, she introduces us to Leah, a biologist no longer in her
thirties and still unmarried, who has taken a leave from her job to
spend the winter at her beach house. In this summer resort town in
the off-season Leah meets Ollie, a high school English teacher
feeling the universal frustration of trying to teach "Moby-Dick" to
teenagers, and the conflicted emotions of taking responsibility for
his handicapped sister, Sally. When Ollie and Leah begin
unexpectedly to fall in love, it is with all the complications of
lives already well established and the habits of half a lifetime
spent alone. And for both, a commitment means making compromises,
revealing secrets, and facing a crisis that can either destroy or
redeem their relationship...in Anne Roiphe's totally absorbing,
endearing, and eloquently told tale of the way things really are.
