This absorbing novel is about a happily married, middle-aged editor who attends the Frankfurt book fair and has an affaire with a younger colleague. On their way back to Toronto, they spend a weekend in England where, on a lonely beach, they make love. While Daniel sleeps, Denise leaves the car and is never again seen alive. The majority of the book depicts how people survive such enormous tragedies and, despite them, carry on.
