" In England to see his daughter, Susan, who is gravely ill, James Hillyer, a retired professor of Victorian literature, encounters by chance a man he once knew as a boy. Gabriel Fontaine, a rich and attractive American he met one summer during the war, when he was sent on a holiday to the Gaspe , is a mercurial figure, badly crippled by polio. As an adolescent, James was both attracted to and repelled by Gabriel s cocksure attitude and charm. He also fell hopelessly in love with Odette, a French- Canadian girl from the village, only to find himself in competition with the careless Gabriel. Now, at this random meeting over six decades later as he struggles with the terrible possibility that he could outlive his own daughter, James is asked by Gabriel to accompany him on a final, unthinkable journey." ; 9.10 X 6.20 X 1 inches; 256 pages .
