55:28Now PlayingIn her accomplished third book, Pittard, author of The Fates Will Find Their Way and Reunion, combines elements of the modern gothic and the American road trip. The story of a marriage hitting a rough patch, the narrative follows Mark and Maggie, a professor and a veterinarian respectively, on their annual drive from Chicago to see family in the East. Maggie is still recovering from the shock of being mugged and isn’t quite herself; Mark tries to understand, but the two bicker. Then the weather turns nasty and they make an unexpected stop, which, in turn leads to more surprises and the couple has to reassess much of what they’d previously taken for granted.
Pittard is in conversation with Eliza Barclay.
