In these poems, Melanie McCabe traces the disintegration of a
marriage and the loss of a house lived in for decades. The poems
explore not only the end of a relationship, but also the deep and
personal attachment that people form with the home they live in.
Here also are poems about a childhood home and of days spent as a
young mother in the house that must now be sold. Throughout this
profoundly honest collection are love poems-written not only to a
husband, but to a parent, a child, and even to a beloved house
itself. In the title poem, McCabe alludes to the limited view, the
fragmented and incomplete stories our neighbors form as they bear
witness to only a part of our lives-and never to the complete
truth. Here the reader glimpses that truth, sees beyond the blinds,
the closed curtains, to find a woman living a life that many will
recognize as their own.
