The Physics of Sunset

When "an active grief suddenly yawns open for no good reason in the middle of her life, " Anna Bell-Shay, a poet, finds herself inexorably drawn to Alec Baxter, a celebrated architect. Both are transplanted Easterners in a form of exile in Berkeley, an enclave they find something less than paradise. Against a backdrop of California's signature disasters -- earthquakes, floods, wildfires -- Alec and Anna explore an unexpected extramarital physical passion with a recklessness that threatens the balance of their carefully constructed lives.Jane Vandenburgh is the author of 'The Physics of Sunset' with ISBN 9780786222988 and ISBN 0786222980.
