L’écriture est cathartique. Ne jamais vivre avec des remords mais des regrets. Savoir tourner la page. Avoir une deuxième chance avec quelqu’un ne veut pas forcément dire que c’est le meilleur choix, ni le bon. Parfois il faut savoir laisser partir les gens.
Synopsis
Susan Morrow receives a book manuscript from her ex-husband – a man she left 20 years earlier – asking for her opinion of his writing. As she reads, she is drawn into the fictional life of Tony Hastings, a mathematics professor whose family vacation turns violent.
