Summary
A celebrated but emotionally closed-off New York writer, Carol Sturka has built her life around discipline, success, and solitude. At the insistence of her closest friend, she reluctantly agrees to start dating again, on the condition that she receive in-home support to keep her from burning herself out.
That support comes in the form of Zosia: younger, strikingly composed, and impossible to ignore. What begins as a strictly professional arrangement quickly turns intimate as Zosia slips past Carol’s defenses and into the quiet spaces of her life.
As Carol endures a string of disappointing dates, she starts to realize the connection she’s been searching for may already be waiting for her at home. But the imbalance between them raises questions neither of them is prepared to answer.
