Synopsis

Joan Castleman is 64, and she wants to leave her husband, an award-winning novelist. As she ponders her decision, she reflects on their years together, during which he has been an unfaithful husband, a decent father, and--it is gradually revealed--something else as well. Joan must decide whether to make this fact public and preserve his reputation, or reveal it and ruin his life. Then fate intervenes in the form of a coronary, changing the equation. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.
