This is a story about a woman with two children who’s husband leaves her for a younger woman. A couple of weeks after the woman’s husband leaves her, her father-in-law takes her and his grandaughters to the family beach house to cheer her up or something. The rest of the story is about all the things they discuss.

The book is mosly dialogue. Their talks are pretty boring and seem to go nowhere until about 1/4 of the way through the story when he starts to tell her about a woman he loved. That’s when things get interesting.
