Produktbeschreibung

A marriage story. How much is too much to want?

"I've been waiting a long time for this book." ―Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great Believers and Music for Wartime

2020 IPPY Award Winner for Literary Fiction 2020 NIEA Winner for General Fiction and Best Cover

In this elegant and honest novel, a young couple must navigate that fine line between the things they want for themselves and the the things they want together, and it appears each will have to make a choice―the person they love or the life they want.

Mary Cassatt Miller, the director of an Atlanta home for older women, and famous photojournalist Ethan Graham want a life together. Despite Ethan's work taking him to the streets of Afghanistan, he agrees that after three years, he will stop traveling.

But, nine weeks before their third anniversary, Cass is unsure whether Ethan will ever give up the work he loves. As the clock counts down, it doesn't help that Singer, the artist-bartender, is always in Atlanta, and the enthralling Setara, the subject of Ethan's most famous photograph, is also his business partner.

A new danger in Afghanistan changes everything.
