Robert Quinlan is a 70-year-old historian, teaching at Florida State University, where his wife Darla is also tenured. Their marriage, forged in the fervor of anti-Vietnam-war protests, now bears the fractures of time, both personal and historical. From one of America's most important writers, this is an exquisite novel that examines family ties and the legacy of the Vietnam War through the portrait of a single North Florida family.
