Ginnie, now in her mid-forties feels a sense of loss as her 2 teen daughters don't need her as they head into adulthood. They share few confidences. And her husband has mostly absented himself by focusing exclusively on completing his novel. They haven't slept together in years!. Additionally her mother is aging and experiencing health issues.
So when she meets Will Ginnie doesn't think rationally; her emotions kick in. Will is under stress as well from his job as a police officer, and because his son suffers from Aspergers Syndrome. They easily make poor choices.
It all comes apart when a young woman is found dead near the Thames river. Ginnie believes she may have witnessed something relevant to the case. But Will discourages her from coming forward; he doesn't want their affair to become known.
Excellent plot, writing, and timing. Thoughtful, compassionate and smart. Leroy captures the realities of a failing marriage so well showing how its more common than we'd like to believe.… (altro)
