"A novel you devour in one sitting: elegiac, beautiful, and very
strong." --Herman Koch, author of **The Dinner
** Roxy's life is turned upside down when her husband is killed in a car
crash, his naked body found entangled with his lover's.
Twenty-seven-year-old Roxy is left behind with their daughter, her
husband's personal assistant, and their babysitter to come to terms with
this shameful end to her marriage. Looking to break free from her grief,
Roxy takes the three of them on an impromptu road trip filled with
darkly humorous observations about loss, parental responsibility, and
the expiration date of love. Through masterful dialogues and in her
trademark lucid style, Gerritsen introduces the reader to a woman whose
response to grief both shocks and endears.
