  <default_description>Elizabeth Connelly sits in a New York office that looks like a real editor's, but isn't quite. Employed at a vanity press, Elizabeth watches the real world of real struggles, passion, pain, and love spin around her. Until one day, a young writer comes to her with a novel about a man who loves more than one woman at once. And suddenly Elizabeth will be awakened from her young urban professional slumber by a man's real touch, by a real story in search of an ending, by the unraveling of the greatest masquerade of all in &lt;i&gt;Alice McDermott's&lt;/i&gt; luminous novel of memory, revelation, and desire.</default_description>
