Opening Excerpt
From the storyShe asks how much farther it is to East Bergholt. When he tells her they won’t be there before nightfall, her face clouds over.
He stares straight ahead, at the traffic that isn’t there, on this road that runs to the coast like a weary river and, under the endless rain, the third day of rain already, looks wet enough to sail on.
