Adam Weller is a moderately successful novelist, past his prime,
but squiring around a much younger woman and still longing for
greater fame and glory. His former wife, Eleanor, is unhappily
playing the role of the overweight, discarded woman. Their daughter
Maud has just begun a frankly sexual affair that unexpectedly
becomes life-changing. Into each of these lives the past intrudes
in a way that will test them to their core. With perfect pitch and
a rare empathy, Brian Morton is equally adept at portraying the
life of the mind and how it plays out in the world, brilliantly
tracing the border between honor and violation. Here Morton tells
his strongest story yet--a story about love, friendship, literary
treachery, and what each of us owes to the past.
