Consists of two novels fused together in the middle. Both tell the story of the same five-day period - one from Jack Bowman's point of view, and the other from his wife, Brenda's. The author also wrote "Mary Swann" and "The Republic of Love".

Divided into two parts, 'The Husband's Story' and 'The Wife's Story', this novel is the record of five days, the first separation in a long and happy marriage. By studying the minutiae of the couple's lives from the two separate viewpoints Carol Shields raises absorbing questions about art, love, relationships, history, and fiction.
