Elizabeth Connelly sits in a New York office that looks like
a real editor’s, but isn’t quite. Employed at a vanity
press, Elizabeth watches the real world—of real struggles,
passion, pain, and love—spin around her. Until one day, a
young writer comes to her with a novel about a man who loves
more than one woman at once. And suddenly Elizabeth will be
awakened from her young urban professional slumber—by a
man’s real touch, by a real story in search of an ending, by
the unraveling of the greatest masquerade of all—in Alice
McDermott’s luminous novel of memory, revelation, and desire.
