Beschreibung

"It's 1964 and Eliza Kratke is mostly content. Married thirty years, she is long settled in Bayard, Texas, with two grown children, a nice house, a little dog, and a routine. But her husband has a secret, and Eliza has not been brave enough to demand to know what it is. So when her husband dies suddenly, the ground doesn't just shift under Eliza's feet--it falls away entirely, revealing that she has known nothing true about her life. How should she come to terms with all that has been a lie?"--
