Synopsis
A New York Times Notable Book: &“The most engrossing novel I&’ve come across in a long time.&” —Newsweek Fortysomething Sophy Chase has just begun her new, lighthearted, romantically adventurous life in New York City. But it comes to a screeching halt when she learns that her ex-husband—or technically, her almost-ex-husband, who is also an ex-CIA agent—has been found dead, on the island off of Massachusetts where she left him just months before. Lured back to New England by feelings she thought she&’d left behind, Sophy must navigate her grown stepdaughters; a former lover who is now a celebrity lawyer; the mystery of her husband&’s death—and her own darkest impulses—in a &“novel about death, divorce, exes, lovers and surrogate children on and off a snooty East Coast island. . . . Page-turning suspense that doesn&’t skimp on characterization or intelligence&” (Publishers Weekly). &“Benedict captures finely tuned calibrations of feeling. . . . [She] seems to understand humor&’s real function . . . to get us through the day.&” —Newsday
