A sequel to the best-selling, much-beloved Wish You Were Here, Stewart O'Nan's intimate new novel follows Emily Maxwell, a widow whose expanded children have long moved away. She dreams of vists by her grandchildren while mourning the turnover of her noiseless Pittsburgh neighborhood, however when her sole associate and sister-in-law Arlene faints at their favorite breakfast buffet, Emily's days and nights change. As she grapples with her new freedom, she discovers a concealed durability and realizes that life always offers new choices. Like most old women, Emily is a familiar yet unseen figure, one rarely portrayed so actually. Her mingled feelings-of satisfaction and regret, joy and sorrow- are gracefully rendered in wholly unforeseen ways.
