When Flora discovers her husband Julian's supposedly lost wedding ring hidden in their garage, it sets off a chain of revelations that forces her to reexamine twenty years of marriage. Moving between their struggling years as actors in Manhattan—where Julian ran his small theater company, Good Company—and their current life in Los Angeles, the novel explores not just Flora and Julian's relationship, but also the equally complex marriage of their best friends, Margot and David. What emerges is a nuanced portrait of how we build our lives, the secrets we keep, and the question of whether love can survive when the foundation shifts beneath us.
