Katie Kitamura follows a woman who travels to Greece to find her estranged husband while concealing their separation. The search tests what she knows about him—and what intimacy can ever allow one person to know about another.
The novel offers a way into conversation about uncertainty, marriage and the stories people tell themselves when another person remains out of reach.
Reading context: Elliot Ackerman named this book among his current reading in a July 2019 American Writers Museum interview.
