On a cold winter's afternoon, Michael and Caitlin escape their unhappy marriages to keep an illicit rendezvous. Once a month, for the past twenty-five years, Coney Island has been their haven; these precious, hidden hours their only nourishment. But now, the shut-down, out-of-season resort feels like the edge of the world. And their lives, suddenly, are on the brink - with news of serious illness on one side, and a move to the Midwest on the other. A heart-breaking novel about the end of an affair.
