About

Local luminary Frank, the author of five books of fiction and a collection of essays on the writing life, presents her latest work, a novel about a lonely, sharp-tongued widow who lives in the wine country and a painfully shy gay man who lives out equally lonely days in San Francisco.

Friends by default, Fran and Ollie nurse the deep anomie of loss and the creeping betrayal of aging—until they decide to travel to Paris together. The aftermath of their funny, bittersweet journey suggests that the small changes just within our reach may ultimately save our lives.
