Description
Ned's plans for starting a family are put on hold when he receives an unexpected invitation to his friend Douglas's funeral. Nina follows him, hoping to have sex before their attempts at conception become too stressful. As Ned navigates the complex web of relationships with his old friends from university, Nina begins to unravel the mysterious hold they still have on her husband.
This novel explores the intricate dynamics of friendships and how our personal histories shape us. With wit and insight, Norman Rush examines why we form connections with others and what happens when those bonds are tested by time and circumstance.
