As an adventurous teenager, Grace came to France amid the student protests and upheavals of 1968—and became involved in relationships with two men, one tempestuous, the other gentle and supportive. But the romantic triangle came to an end when one of the men died by drowning.

Her sole focus is keeping Peter’s stress to a minimum while he awaits his upcoming heart surgery. But after all these years, Grace is confronted by a visitor she never expected to see—and must keep her escalating fear hidden from her ailing husband, in this epic, time-spanning story of love and betrayal from the bestselling author.
