Summary:
"A powerful and beautifully written debut
novel
that intimately explores a fractured marriage and the struggles of modern parenthood, set against the backdrop of the chaotic spring of 2020. Reeling from a painful betrayal in her marriage as the Covid pandemic takes hold in New York City,
Alice
packs up her family and flees to their vacation home in
Maine
. She hopes to find sanctuary -- from the uncertainties of the exploding pandemic and her faltering marriage. Putting distance between herself and the stresses and troubles of the city,
Alice
begins to feel safe and relieved. But the locals are far from friendly. Trapped and forced into quarantine by hostile neighbors,
Alice
sees the imprisoning structure of her life in this new predicament. Stripped down to the bare essentials of survival and tending to the needs of her two children, she can no longer ignore all the ways in which she feels limited and lost -- lost in the big city, lost as a wife, lost as a mother, lost as a daughter and lost as a person. As the world shifts around her and the balance in her marriage tilts,
Alice
and her husband,
Pete
, are left to consider if what keeps their family safe is the same thing as what keeps their family together."--Publisher.
