Fiction
Fifteen years ago, Susan Morrow left her first husband,
Edward Sheffield. One day, comfortable in her home and her
second marriage, she receives, entirely out of the blue, a
parcel containing the manuscript of her ex-husband’s first
novel. He writes asking her to read the book; she was always
his best critic, he says. As Susan reads, she is drawn into the fictional life of his
character Tony Hastings, a math professor driving his family
to their summer house in Maine. As the Hastings family’s
ordinary, civilized lives are disastrously, violently sent
off course, Susan is plunged into the past, forced to
confront the darkness that inhabits her, and driven to name
the fear that gnaws at her future and will change her life. Tony and Susan is a dazzling achievement: simultaneously a
riveting portrayal of the experience of reading and a
page-turning thriller, written in startlingly arresting
prose. It is also a novel about fear and regret, revenge and
aging, marriage and creativity.
