Description
A frank and searing novel, written in insightful and compelling vignettes, about the dissolution of a long marriage.
'Somehow it seemed to him the only thing that would really solve the problem would be to return to the sea and find the old ring with their names and the wedding date engraved inside in 22 carat gold and put it on again and then the world would magically return to what it had been before. Many years before.
This did not happen.'
Thomas and Mary have been married for thirty years. But now that marriage is coming to an end. In this powerful and moving novel Tim Parks tells the story of a long relationship and its long and sad demise, through a series of masterfully orchestrated scenes and perspectives.
