Have you ever had a secret so gut-wrenching you couldn't
tell anyone, not even the person who shares your bed?
Told from the alternating perspectives of a husband and
wife who both have something to hide, this incisive novel
pulls back the curtain on a seemingly-happy marriage,
posing the question: how much do we really know--and how
much should we want to know--about the people we love the
most? After five long years, the unshakable confidence Cass
Coyne felt as a bride is gone. Her husband, Jonathan, on
the other hand, is still smitten. It's true that the
quirks he once found charming in his wife--her high
standards, her refusal to clean the dishes--are beginning
to grate. But for him, these are minor challenges in a
healthy relationship. So it comes as a complete shock to Jonathan when Cass
suddenly requests a marital "intermission": a six-month
separation during which they'll decide if the comfortable
life they've built is still the one they both want. Aside from a monthly custodial exchange of their beloved
dog, contact will be limited. But as the months pass,
they begin to see that calculated silences just like
these have helped to drive them apart--and that it may
finally be time to confront the blistering secrets
they've been avoiding.
