Cul-de-sac
by Joy Fielding
Maggie is the driving force of this book. After an even eluded to throughout the book, Maggie withdrew from her family, the outside world, her marriage, and certainly from herself. Her husband, Craig, walks out, telling Maggie she has lost her spark. Maggie agrees - consciously making an effort. Using her energy to recover, to reconnect, to herself.
And so Maggie starts to connect with her neighbors.
Julia lives alone - much to the concern of her son. They never seemed to connect - but Julia adores her grandson, Mark. He moves in - after yet another argument with his father. Together Julia and Mark figure out their futures.
Heidi and Aiden are newlyweds after a whirlwind romance. Aiden suffers from PTSD - Heidi lending her support. But Aiden's mother is the real issue. Aiden agrees with every recommendation - and Heidi wonders when Aiden will take his wife's side.
Dani and Nick seem to have the best life and relationship. Both professionals with thriving practices, raising two sons - no one can see the darkness consuming their lives.
Sean has been out of work for months. Finally an interview - that is a total fail. But he tells his wife, Olivia, things went well. The lies continue.
Great book - what do we really know about those who leave so close?
