Acclaimed novelist Anne Rivers Siddons's new novel is a stunning tale of love and loss.
For as long as she can remember, they were Cam and Lilly--happily married, totally in love with each other, parents of a beautiful family, and partners in life. Then, after decades of marriage, it ended as every great love story does...in loss. After Cam's death, Lilly takes a lone road trip to her and Cam's favorite spot on the remote coast of Maine, the place where they fell in love over and over again, where their ghosts still dance. There, she looks hard to her past--to a first love that ended in tragedy; to falling in love with Cam; to a marriage filled with exuberance, sheer life, and safety-- to try to figure out her future.
It is a journey begun with tender memories and culminating in a revelation that will make Lilly re-evaluate everything she thought was true about her husband and her marriage.

OFF SEASON is Anne Rivers Siddons's 17th novel.

She is also the author of a work of nonfiction, John Chancellor Makes Me Cry. She and her husband, Heyward, split their time between their home in Charleston, SC and Brooklin, ME. For more information, visit www.anneriverssiddons.net.
Mix the lyricism of Siddons's prose; the intense, yet restrained voice of Oscar-winning actress Jane Alexander; and the mysteries of the untamed Maine coastline--and you have the makings of a magical voyage. Widow Lily returns to the Maine island home she and her husband, Cam, loved to unlock answers to dark questions about her past. Jane Alexander's narration, especially as Lily and as the voices of Cam and Lily's deceased wisecracking cat, is flawless. And when the heartbreaking truths about Lily's life emerge, Alexander keeps the pathos under control. There is one big flaw, however. The unexpected ending to the story is disappointing.
