Book Description:
Charles Callahan, a faithfully married businessman, chances upon a newspaper photograph of a woman he loved 30 years ago. Unable to resist, he writes her, a poet living with her husband and two children.
Powerfully drawn together again, the two lovers grapple with issues they never expected to face: the nature of erotic love and betrayal, the agony of lost years, bewildering moral quandaries in an age of shifting values, and the elusive nature of time.
"An affecting novel that will attract readers of THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, it offers the further rewards of psychologically nuanced characterizations and a thoughtful exploration of the relationship between sexuality and time." (Publishers Weekly)

This book is very well written, as are all Anita Shreve books I have read. But, I just could not sympathize with the selfish characters in this book! They gave little heed to the damage their affair was doing to everyone around them. Maybe it's because I love my husband dearly and could not imagine hurting him so much.

I loved this book. I really shouldn't have, considering my experiences, but I did.
