Années 1970. Maureen entreprend un long trajet en voiture de New York à la côte du Maine avec sa fille d'à peine un an. Dans un cottage isolé devant l'océan, elle se cache : elle prend un nouveau nom, parle et sort le moins possible. Ce qu'elle fuit ? Son mari, Harrold. Dans ce roman qui tient du polar psychologique et de la tragédie grecque, Anita Shreve écrit au plus près de son personnage principal, de son intimité et de sa complexité. Avec acuité, elle décortique les ficelles qui piègent les protagonistes dans une relation toxique, et amène le lecteur à toucher du doigt la finesse des parois qui nous protègent a priori de glisser dans les ténèbres de ces étranges passions... Une oeuvre sur la condition féminine, qui éveille les consciences aux dérives du sexisme.

Dans les paysages enneigés du Massachusetts, un huis clos intense et envoûtant autour de sept amis réunis après plus de vingt ans. Une variation subtile et poignante sur les rendez-vous manqués, la difficulté de tout recommencer et les affres de la création, sublimée par l'attention extrême d'Anita Shreve aux moindres frémissements de l'âme humaine. Pour célébrer leur mariage, Bill et Bridget ont décidé de rassembler leur ancien groupe d'amis. Un moyen de rattraper le temps, alors que les jours de Bridget sont comptés. Que rêvaient-ils d'être et que sont-ils tous devenus ? Vingt ans après, quels secrets brûlent-ils de dévoiler ou voudraient-ils garder enfouis ? Entre passions inavouées, drames refoulés, culpabilité et pardon, tous vont devoir affronter les blessures et les vérités qui les hantent depuis tant d'années.

When Charles Callahan chances on a newspaper photograph of Sian Richards, a woman he loved when they were both only thirteen, he is hardly in a position to do anything about it. He has been faithfully married for years and his Rhode Island real estate business has been hit hard by the recession. He is scrambling to stave off bankruptcy and save his house. But Charles cannot resist the hand of fate. He writes to Sian, now a poet living with a family of her own on a farm in upstate New York.Three decades after they last saw each other, the two lovers meet. Powerfully drawn together once again, Charles and Sian are forced to come to terms with the nature of erotic love and betrayal, moral quandaries in an age of shifting values, and the elusive nature of time. Struggling to reclaim what once they lost, they set in motion a passionate and tumultuous series of events that moves to a shocking conclusion.
