Her 15-year-old daughter, Jeanine, has discovered love--and sex. Her parents in Minnesota are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and Clare doesn't look forward to a reunion with the father she holds responsible for the death, years earlier, of her five-year-old son. And although happily married to Paul, Clare finds herself unwillingly attracted to another, very desirable man. Written in the present tense, this novel has an immediacy and urgency that, combined with the dreamlike sequences recalling the death of Clare's son, compel the reader to plunge ahead. An intelligent and compassionate story of the lively contradictions of family life. Seller Inventory # 39057
