Harry has spent thirty years married to Luz in their beloved Brooklyn apartment. They raised two children together and built a wide circle of friends in New York. When Luz discovers poems about another woman in Harry's notebooks, she becomes certain he is having an affair. Despite Harry's innocence, Luz throws him out of their home and their shared life. Harry stands bewildered by her reaction. He tries repeatedly to reach Luz and explain, but a strange realization creeps over him. After three decades of marriage, they have become complete strangers to each other. Christensen crafts sharp character portraits in this witty and moving examination of a New York marriage coming apart.
