Synopsis

"What do you think happened to your husband, Mrs. Keller?"

The Sunday morning starts like any other, aside from the slight hangover. Dani Keller wakes up on her Seattle houseboat, a headache building behind her eyes from the wine she drank at a party the night before. But on this particular Sunday morning, she's surprised to see that her husband, Ian, is not home. As the hours pass, Dani fills her day with small things. But still, Ian does not return. Irritation shifts to worry, worry slides almost imperceptibly into panic. And then, like a relentless blackness, the terrible realization hits Dani: He's gone.

As the police work methodically through all the logical explanations—he's hurt, he's run off, he's been killed—Dani searches frantically for a clue as to whether Ian is in fact dead or alive. And, slowly, she unpacks their relationship, holding each moment up to the light: from its intense, adulterous beginning, to the grandeur of their new love, to the difficulties of forever. She examines all the sins she can—and cannot—remember. As the days pass, Dani will plumb the depths of her conscience, turning over and revealing the darkest of her secrets in order to discover the hard truth—about herself, her husband, and their lives together.

No author has ever expressed better for me, the things a woman thinks and feels during each stage of a relationship. When Dani's husband disappears, she explores their relationship from its start to the present day, until you find out where he has gone. Insightful..💕......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on August 15, 2013

4.5 stars: What would you do if you woke up and your husband had vanished? What a great story idea. What makes this novel expand from great to exceptional is Caletti’s use of Dani Keller’s, (the wife of the missing husband, Ian) authentic internal monologue. Dani’s voice is raw and human. Her narrat......more
