"
""[An] impressive first novel . . . Abbott's nuanced take on New York after the
fall is spot-on, reminding us that love is about survival as well as loss.""
-People
Set in New York in 2001, Abbott's debut novel invites us into the lives of good
people grappling with the hard choices and the sacrifices they must make to find
love. In the manner of a contemporary Edith Wharton, Shirley Abbott exposes the
inner lives and the tangled relationships of eight characters-before and after
New York's tragedy-and forces both them and the reader to see the world in a new
way.
Having assembled a smart, compelling ensemble, reminiscent of HBO's Six Feet
Under, Abbott allows us to see the possibility of happiness even as the city
itself is tested. With humor and profound empathy, she has crafted a novel that
runs deep into the heart of our need for commitment from friends, lovers, and
family.
