He’s tall—impossibly handsome. She’s small—brightly independent. He is sometimes unemployed, an incompletely divorced father of two children. She is a singer and songwriter whose music career is under threat. They might never have seen each other, but they met and stayed together. A modern city romance has begun. A funny couple solving a love crossword, where hope and trust intersect with the burden of past deceptions and disappointments. A novel about tenderness, about words left unsaid, about a secret knowledge that belongs only to love.
