Lucy Barton, a well-known novelist in New York, is recently widowed and has two grown daughters. Her first husband, William, has always been hard for her to read, and she cannot quite say why the two of them have stayed close through all the years since their divorce. So it hardly shocks her, and yet it does, when he asks her to travel with him to investigate a family secret he has just discovered. Remembering their student days, the arrival of their girls, the breakup and the new partners each of them found, Lucy traces a long, tender and complicated bond.
