Everything about Maggie's life always seemed to be temporary, from the job she had taken to fill her time when her youngest son, Robbie, went off to first grade...27 years ago...to the apartment in the old Northampton House she had rented just to get her bearings after her divorce...and has now lived in for over 15 years. Not that she really objects to this life she has created...so many of her friends, her children, and even her ex-husband, Bill, seem to always be on the way to somewhere, but never anywhere definitive, while Maggie feels oddly content. But when Gabriel Winston, a 40-something research assistant moves into her office, and somehow also into her life, Maggie's sense of transience is suddenly at risk. A further complication is that Maggie suddenly seems to be dating Gregory Barnes, a gerontologist she met at a funeral, of all places, while her daughter, Eliza excitedly plans her mother's 60th birthday, an event Maggie feels perhaps she might rather not celebrate. In the final analysis, life is all about navigating obstacles...or perhaps avoiding them all together...and inevitably there will always be things better left unsaid.
