"He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply through his nose. He smelled the grass of the lawn, cut a day or two before, the roasted vegetables on the table, the grill and the grills in backyards all over the neighborhood. He listened to the birds calling each other, the breeze tickling the leaves in the tree above his head, grass folding softly under approaching feet."Adulthood arrives in fragments-in shared silences, missed calls, and the slow realization that the people who raised you are still changing too. As a trio of siblings lurch through the beginnings of their independent lives, their parents each face reckonings of their own. The Even Tenor of Our Ways is a quiet novel about the distances that grow between us when we aren't looking, and the struggle to close them.
