| Synopsis: |
This is the story of Harry Bailey and his attempts to restart a life that has come to an emotional standstill. He has been living with his father since his mother walked out on them both six years before, and together they have sunk into a lonely routine. But their dead-end life is suddenly disrupted when the elder Bailey begins dating a woman young enough to be his daughter. Harry blames his father for driving his mother away, and he is hurt and angry that his father seems to be getting on with his life and leaving Harry behind. He becomes increasingly aware of his father's obvious happiness, and of Mona, the woman responsible.She is, he discovers, a private detective who specializes in finding missing persons, and as Harry is inadvertently drawn into one of her cases, he is forced to confront all that is missing from his own life. Despite himself, he falls in love with her, and the ensuing complications reach a fevered pitch when, after all the years away, his mother finally returns. A moving exploration of the joys and contradictions of love, this work is beautifully written with a quirky humor that invites both laughter and contemplation. |
