He spends his days teaching history to eleventh graders, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbors, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad—at himself and the people around him—and turns a question over and over in his mind: How is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world.

And in the same breath, captures the abiding love that sustains and holds us all.","brand":"Elizabeth Strout","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47828760723508,"sku":"9798217199839","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/0320\/4404\/files\/BNCImageAPI_a1c533ef-58b0-405c-be72-b8376c3dc71a.jpg?v=1779548556","url":"https:\/\/wanderingalbatrossbooks.com\/products\/9798217199839","provider":"Wandering Albatross Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
