Evenings at Five: A Novel and Five New Stories

Every evening at five o’clock, Christina and Rudy began the ritual commonly known as Happy Hour, sharing drinks along with a love of language and music (she is an author, he a composer, after all), a delight in intense conversation, a fascination with popes, and nearly thirty years of life together. Now, seven months after Rudy’s unexpected death, Christina reflects on their vibrant bond — with all its quirks, habits, and unguarded moments — as well as her passionate sorrow and her attempts to reposition herself and her new place in the very real world they shared.
