Summary
1950s Suburbia. Where the grass is always perfectly manicured and the quietest scandal is a wilting petunia, loneliness is the neighbor no one discusses.
Daphne Thorn is a ghost in her own home, a photograph fading in the sun. The house she inherited from her late husband—a war hero whose face is growing dim in her memory—is less a sanctuary and more of a beautifully maintained tomb.
Phillipa "Pip" Pirrip is the new girl on the block, her smile as carefully applied as her lipstick. She arrived hoping for a fresh start, but the old problems followed: a husband whose cutting words hurt more than his affairs, and her own body, which he treats as her greatest failure.
Then, a collision in a grocery aisle. A murmured apology. A glance that holds a second too long.
In that fragile crack in the perfect suburban silence, they find one another.
What starts as a lifeline quickly becomes a dangerous, thrilling secret. For the first time in a world washed in pale pastels, they discover a feeling that burns bright and reckless, and risk everything to keep its flame alive.
