A reporter for a small town newspaper in upstate New York, Abby Reston is hungary for a good story when Martin Rayfiel walks into her office. Elderly but still hale and handsome. Martin tells the young newspaperwoman of his lifelong romance with Claire Swift. Though married to other people, Martin and Claire have faithfully met at the gazebo in the town square once every year for half a century to reaffirm a passion born in their youth.
Intrigued by the aging gentleman's tale, Abby finds herself drawn to
the gazebo, hoping to witness the annual meeting of the star-crossed lovers. What she discovers instead is a briefcase filled with photographs, letters, tape recordings, and mementos---the complete and astonishing history of a remarkable love affair that spanned the globe and somehow survived in secret for fifty years.
