A winter break tests the fault lines of a long marriage. It is an intimate study of an ordinary marriage marked by an earlier event. Solace is sought along divergent paths - one spiritual and the other that of alcohol. The book, like life, is happy, sad, funny and very serious. The writing was faultless, filled with sympathy for its characters, and the ending thoughtful. The impact was more profound than I imagined at first.
