He leaves behind a young wife, Emily, who awaits his return for decades, her dreams and devotion gradually freezing into rigid widowhood.A hundred years later, on a sweltering mid-summers day, Edwards great-grand-niece Julia moves through the old family house, attempting to impose some order on the clutter of inherited belongings and memories from that ill-fated expedition, and taking care to ignore the deepening cracks within her own marriage. But as afternoon turns into evening, Julia makes a discovery that splinters her long-held image of Edward and Emilys romance.The Still Point slaloms through past, present, and future, with dreams revealing a universal simultaneity to the choices we must all make in the faces of love and passion. Long-listed for the Orange Prize, The Still Point is a powerful literary debut, masterfully told in the language of the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52098204336416,"sku":"NEW1582437092","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81vfHcph2ML.jpg?v=1785790617","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-still-point-a-novel-1582437092","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
