In a quiet suburb, several young parents grapple with dissatisfaction, desire, and the routines of marriage. The plot follows Todd, a stay-at-home father, and Sarah, a feminist trapped in a traditional relationship, whose lives cross during a summer stirred by the arrival of a neighbor with a murky past.
The novel was originally published in 2004; this edition dates from 2006. It was adapted into a movie by Todd Field, with Kate Winslet, Jennifer Connelly, and Patrick Wilson.
A suitable read for book clubs and for those seeking literary fiction focused on the conflicts of adult life in the suburbs.
