Women's Fiction
Meri is newly married, pregnant, and standing on the cusp
of her life as a wife and mother, recognizing with some
terror the gap between reality and expectation. Delia
Naughton—wife of the two-term liberal senator Tom Naughton—
is Meri’s new neighbor in the adjacent New England town
house. Delia’s husband’s chronic infidelity has been an
open secret in Washington circles, but despite the
complexity of their relationship, the bond between them
remains strong. What keeps people together, even in the
midst of profound betrayal? How can a journey imperiled by,
and sometimes indistinguishable from, compromise and
disappointment culminate in healing and grace? Delia and
Meri find themselves leading strangely parallel lives, both
reckoning with the contours and mysteries of marriage, one
refined and abraded by years of complicated intimacy, the
other barely begun.
