Two families, the Wilfs and the Shenkmans, live as neighbors in a Connecticut town. Decades earlier, a car accident involving teenagers left a secret that has shaped one family since. A retired doctor, Ben Wilf, spends his days stargazing, while the Shenkmans' children grow up and away. When a chance event brings the old story to light, the families have to face the consequences of what was concealed.
It is for readers who like quiet, character-driven novels about guilt, family silence and the long reach of one night. It suits those who enjoy intimate stories with a clear, reflective style.
Inward-looking and thought-provoking; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Empathetic Explorer. Which reader are you?
