Written in 1992 and set in Winnipeg, Shields explores the meaning of love between mid-thirties, folklorist Fay - reluctant to commit to marriage - and Tom - almost forty, a late-night radio music and chat show host, three times married and divorced, but with optimism to start again. Shields writes engagingly about the ordinariness of their lives, friends and family. This is a gentle love story with some unexpected surprises.
