While wandering through the vast galleries of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, fifty-three-year-old Daphne Fuller and her husband Jonathan cross paths with an older, observant gentleman. The mysterious tracker is quickly revealed to be Eddie Triplett, Daphne’s long-lost former stepfather who was married to her mother for a singular year during Daphne's childhood. They have not encountered each other since a profound, devastating event redirected their entire families' histories decades ago. Thrown back together by chance, time completely evaporates for them. This unexpected reconciliation forces both individuals to sift through their choices, the fragile nature of memory, and old wounds. Ann Patchett delivers a masterpiece highlighting how being recognized by a single soul can rewrite a person's life trajectory entirely.
