The new novel from the Pulitzer-winning author of Empire Falls and The Straight Man is a charming story about the enduring yet tangled bonds of friendship. On a fine September day, three old friends gather on the island of Martha's Vineyard. People couldn't be more different: Lincoln is a commercial real estate dealer, Teddy is an independent Christian book publisher, and Mickey is an elderly rock musician. But since the early 1970s, everyone has had their own secrets - in addition to the huge mystery that, after a memorable weekend spent together on the same island in 1971, not one of them unraveled. Then Jaycee disappeared, the girl whom all three loved, each in their own way... And now, more than forty years later, the stories of three lives unfold before the reader’s eyes in their entirety, and the distant past collides with the present, almost knocking them off their feet with a flurry of amazement, tragedy and irony.
