Book excerpt: A novel of second love between Americans abroad—“a monumental achievement” from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Women’s Room (Cosmopolitan). Dolores Durer, a divorced English professor and the mother of two adult children, has sworn off love after a series of disastrous affairs. Electronics executive Victor Morrissey is in England to open a branch office. He has four children and is unhappily married. From the moment they meet—on a train—their connection is instant and passionate. The two Americans abroad embark on an affair that will have consequences in both their lives. Each carries baggage.

Driven by an impending sense of urgency, knowing their time together is finite, they struggle to transform their pasts into a hopeful future.
