The discovery of a devoted couple found murdered in the dunes of Baritone Bay forms the centerpiece of a story of love and afterlife.
In Crace's typically strange and lyrical novel, the lives of a middle-aged married couple, murdered while making love al fresco, are examined in a narrative that moves backward in time, while simultaneously the reaction of their only daughter is explored. A New York Times "Editors' Choice" for one of the best books of 2000.
