Author's sixth novel. A bored doctor's wife settled in a nondescript corner of Maine commits an act of transgression which comes back to haunt her decades later. "This might be the most American of my novels, as the subject is the United States during the radical ferment of the 1960s and the same country in the post-9/11 world." Recipient of the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2007 and the inaugural Grand Prix du Figaro in 2009. "Kennedy's emotionally charged, reader-friendly tale of a woman on the verge will please his fans." –Publishers Weekly
