Taut citrus acidity and a stony edge sit against a hint of sweetness that never quite resolves. It suits Lucy's life in New York, where the career and family she builds keep brushing up against her longing for Gabe.

The Mood

Lucy and Gabe meet as Columbia students on September 11, 2001, and keep finding their way back to each other as his photojournalism pulls him toward war zones and her life takes root in New York. Told as Lucy speaking to Gabe, it is a bittersweet reckoning with first love, choice, and the lives we might have lived.
