In Kathryn Davis's novel, two couples, Bobby Rose and his artist wife Carole Ridingham, along with his partner Coleman Snow and his wife Ruth Farr, embark on a walking tour in Wales, where a fatal accident occurs. Bobby and Carole's daughter, Susan, narrates the story from the future, reflecting on how property no longer defines destiny. With the help of court transcripts, Ruth Farr's journal, and a young vagrant, Susan reveals the central moral dilemma of the book: we are culpable beings in a world of imperfect knowledge. A visionary meditation on the relationship between art and commerce, as dazzling as the Welsh landscape it describes.
