Synopsis
To her latest novel, Beattie brings the same documentary accuracy and Chekhovian wit and tenderness that have made her one of the most acclaimed portraitists of contemporary American life. Marshall Lockard, a professor at the local college, is contemplating adultery, unaware that his wife is already committing it.

About the Author
Ann Beattie has published eight novels and ten collections of stories, among them Chilly Scenes of Winter, Falling in Place, The Burning House, Love Always, Picturing Will, and Another You. She was the Edgar Allan Poe Professor of Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Virginia (emerita). She is a member of The American Academy of Arts and Letters and of The American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She and her husband, Lincoln Perry, live in Maine and Key West, Florida.
From Booklist
On the surface, Beattie's new novel seems a bit academic. Marshall is an English professor at a small college in New Hampshire, and he seems to be experiencing one of those pesky midlife crises, as is Sonja, his wife. But Beattie explodes this convention and creates a drama of escalating intensity about how easily ordinary lives can go completely out of control. Every character has a secret, and, unnervingly, every secret is connected. It all begins when Marshall takes too strong an interest in a pretty student distressed by the trauma her roommate has suffered at the hands of another professor. Marshall barely knows McCallum but is soon entangled in his surprisingly volatile, even violent, life. While Marshall grapples with his Pandora's box, Sonja confesses she's had a rather silly affair with her boss, and then Evie, Marshall's charming stepmother, dies, opening the door on the long-concealed facts of her life. As truth proves to be more elusive than a subatomic particle, Beattie's addled but resilient characters cling to love and strive for compassion, if not comprehension. This is a powerfully composed work of great wit, subtlety, literary finesse, and insight. Donna Seaman
