By the author of Bel Canto and The Dutch House, this novel was described in the New York Times book review as a vision of a beautifully, bucolically simple nuclear family with hints of Our Town, Dr. Zhivago and Chekhov’s Three Sisters.  As a mother tells the story of her past, her daughters examine their own lives, their relationship with their mother and their understanding of the world they thought they knew.
