“She and Denny had chipped away at the rooms one at a time, building a Farrow & Ball fantasy: high-gloss, wallpaper, brushed brass, their living, breathing masterpiece, part of the pretension of existing in this wealthy New England town, where you had to dress up to walk the damn dog, for Christ’s sake.”

“Only after she had closed the door to the dark primary bathroom did she turn on a sconce and study her face. Forty-two years old. Fine lines just starting to crawl out from around her mouth, but otherwise—this she would confess—she wasn’t bad-looking.

“How could a dance for elementary school students, hosted by the PTO, be sold out? On sale at noon, sold out five minutes later, in a town where not one woman she knows appears to have an actual job. Click, click, click. Lost to the stay-at-home moms. Maybe she should have paid more attention to that newsletter, with all of those technicalities about early ticket releases or whatever it had said.”
