Fiction
The author of the classic Bury Me Standing now gives us a
riveting first novel that reaches from the Indian Ocean to
London and New York, and into the most confounding precincts
of the human heart. Jean Hubbard is a syndicated health columnist, her British
husband, Mark, a successful advertising executive, and after
more than twenty years together they revel in a sabbatical
on a remote tropical island. But when Jean discovers a
salacious love letter addressed to Mark, she realizes that
she has misdiagnosed some acute pathologies in her own life.
The long idyll of their mutual ease is over—but a more vivid
and compelling quest has just begun. Looking for answers,
Jean goes undercover with a surreptitious e-mail
correspondence that propels her on to alarming, and
illuminating, adventures of her own in her adopted home of
London and her native New York. Assured, funny, tender, and provocative, Attachment is
unflinching in its depiction of desire, of the
responsibility that comes with age and family, and of the
impulses that color and disrupt our lives even as they
reveal, ever more clearly, the nature of love.
