A series of stories whose shared themes of loss, discovery, and connections with others bind them together as a unified whole. The settings, mostly urban, include a newspaper office, a 1950s coffeehouse, and menacing, wild landscapes. The discoveries at an archeological dig have echoes in a contemporary love affair; sexual frustrations and class differences surface at a summer camp; a betrayed lover seeks a fittingly sweet revenge; three sisters come to terms with the man they have taken into the family.
