Carla Stevens, a young woman who has recently moved to San Francisco, lives in an apartment building with an old-fashioned elevator. One night when she returns home from work, a young passenger asks Carla if she would allow her to send the elevator to her floor first as her boyfriend would become angry if she were late. Mildly irritated, Carla quickly forgets the incident until, Joey, a detective, calls on her because of the apparent suicide of a middle-aged woman in her building. The two begin dating and at a restaurant near her apartment building, Carla spots the young woman she saw in the elevator, but the woman flees before Joey can talk with her. Other officers are investigating a different death near the same building. Joey discovers the two incidents may be related and Carla finds herself inadvertently part of both.

From the award-winning author ofMinor Characterscomes a haunting novel about the persistence of love and the sustaining and destabilizing power of memoriesIn the vibrant downtown Manhattan art world of the 1960s, where men and women collide in ';lucky and unlucky convergences,' a series of love affairs has left Joanna Gold, a young photographer, feeling numbed. Then, at yet another party, a painter named Tom Murphy walks up to her. ';Why do you hang back?' he asks.Rather than another brief collision, their relationship is the profound and ecstatic love each had longed to find. But it's undermined by Tom's harrowing pasthis fatherless childhood, his wartime experiences, and most of all, the loss of the two children he left behind in Florida, along with the powerful red, white, and black paintings he will never set eyes on again. Tom, both tender and volatile, draws Joanna into the unwinnable struggle against the forces that drive him toward death.Once again, Joyce Johnson brings to life a mythic bohemian world where art is everything and life is as full of intensity and risk as the bold sweep of a painter's brush across a canvas.A New York Times Notable BookExcerpted in theNew YorkerandHarper's Magazine
