'One of the most beloved authors of her generation'
SUNDAY TIMES
__________
When Daphne notices an older gentleman following her around the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, she doesnĂt expect it to be Eddie Ă her former stepfather.
Married to her mother for a short time when Daphne was nine, she hasnĂt seen Eddie for many years; not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives.
Meeting again now, Daphne and Eddie feel that time has fallen away. Their earlier relationship was brief but had a profound impact on both of them. Together, they consider not only their past, but the joys of the present and their commitment to face the future together.

This book is targeted towards adult readers, particularly those who enjoy literary fiction centred on family, memory, love and the lasting impact of meaningful relationships. It will appeal to readers who appreciate reflective, emotionally rich stories about the way past connections continue to shape the present. The book is especially suited to fans of character-driven fiction, thoughtful domestic drama and stories that explore reunion, regret, tenderness and the quiet complexity of human bonds.
The book is written for an adult reading audience and is likely to be accessible to confident general readers. Ann Patchett’s fiction is known for its clear, graceful prose and emotional depth, making the story approachable without relying on overly complex language. While the vocabulary and sentence structure should be manageable for most adult readers, the themes of memory, family history, emotional loss and personal reflection give the book a more mature tone. This makes it best suited to adults and older teens who enjoy thoughtful, literary storytelling.
