Mary herself has suffered from a lifelong spiritual yearning, but just as she has settled on dowsing as her life's calling, she is confronted with her own mortality.
520 8 $aTuesday's friend Didi, the museum's public relations coordinator, contemplates an adulterous relationship with a local reporter - a man - at the risk of her happy and stable longtime relationship with her female partner. Didi's eighteen-year-old nephew David arrives for a summer visit, consumed by the sense that his own life has yet to begin but eager for it to do so.".
