The curator of a local history museum, David Carter cannot help but wish for more: that his wife would still be the ambitious and sparkling Scottish girl he once found so irresistible and that his beloved Aunt Julia was not lost in a fog of senility, in a novel of family, memory, and self-discovery. By the accliamed author of If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things. 25,000 first printing.
