Blackwood is on a cruise with her husband, Patrick, to celebrate their wedding anniversary. Her former professor, film director, and cult figure, Patrick is much older than J.B.. When they met, he seemed somehow ageless, as all gods appear in the eyes of those who worship them. But now his success is starting to wane and J.B. is on the cusp of winning a major literary prize. Her art has been forever overseen by him, now it may overshadow his.For days they sail in the sun, nothing but dark water all around them. Then a storm hits and Patrick falls from the ship. J.B. is left alone, as the search for what happened to Patrick - and the truth about their marriage - begins.\u003cp\u003ePropulsive and fiercely intelligent, \u003ci\u003eThe Anniversary \u003c\/i\u003eis exquisitely written with a swift and addictive plot. It's a novel that asks: how legible, in the mind of the writer, is the line between reality and plot? How do we refuse the people we desire? And what is the cost, to ourselves, to others and to our art, if we don't?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press, Black Cat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802161673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432","brand":"Stephanie Bishop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42875167080629,"sku":"9780802161673","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1059a72f-50d0-4083-897d-e4d525d1b5c1.jpg?v=1684813737","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-anniversary-9780802161673","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
