About this book
Summer sunlight fills a Paris hotel room as Althea Jakes begins to question the purpose of her comfortable life abroad. An American woman with independent means, she has spent years pursuing art, music, acquaintances, and fashionable clothes. Returning to familiar rooms and familiar routines brings her loneliness into sharper focus. Anne Douglas Sedgwick builds this novel of relationships around the distance between a polished outward life and the private hopes that sustain it.
Later conversations with Gerald expose another mismatch: Althea imagines public ambition and a home in London, while he values hunting, farming, and painting at Merriston. Helen's presence adds another perspective to their exchanges, and Franklin Winslow Kane appears on a London street.
