Back cover: The story begins with the demise of the marriage of Antonia and Conrad Fleming. It concludes with Antonia and Conrad meeting for the first time with the pronouncement, "This isn't the end; it may well be the beginning." Winin an ingeniously constructed narrative, we observe a marriage back through those emotional turning points shaping the future course of this ill-fated couple. The Long View is a haunting novel about the beginnings implicit in all endings, even the most devastatingly poignant kinds of endings.
