About This Book

A small household confronts partings and private reckonings as family members prepare for a last departure and the coming winter. Generational and social tensions surface in everyday talk about love, marriage prospects, debts and the impending leaving of a young man. Intimate domestic details — a faded parlor, overnight-blooming roses, mending garments and a disabled daughter's puppet theatre — give texture to scenes of humor, regret and quiet sacrifice. The action unfolds across three acts, tracing how ordinary routines and small revelations reshape relationships on the brink of separation.
