Wide Awake

Catherine Holloway is forty-five, eighteen years married, and good at every part of her life except being inside it. Then her mother dies and leaves behind a box of letters — nine years of a love affair no one knew existed — and Kate recognizes, in a dead woman's handwriting, the woman she stopped being a long time ago.

What she and her husband do next isn't a way out. It's the two of them deciding to stop performing a marriage neither of them wants to leave — and finding out what's underneath, once the pretending stops.

Same collection, a different register. Wide Open was loud. Wide Awake is the quiet one — and it cuts deeper.
