Joanna Hershon’s story of middle-aged Sarah and Matthew’s fraught marriage—haunted by the specter of their daughter, Leda—brushes up against a strange encounter with a Czech man on a Brooklyn-bound subway train; a three-day weekend upstate with their estranged friends, Kiki and Arman (another couple having their own set of conflicts as new parents); and an armed assault in Prospect Park.
As these traumatic events collide and conflict with both past and present tensions, Hershon is able to build a highly convincing portrait of how absence is a marked presence in our lives, and how guilt can infect our interactions and relationships with those we love as well as with ourselves.
4.5 stars. Highly recommended.… (plus d'informations)
