| In his first novel， David Huddle tells a delicately nuanced story of relationships between men and women that is as old as human history itself. It begins with a startling secret affair between fifteen-year-old Marcy and the husband of her mother s best friend. Years later， the emotional fallout from the affair still echoes in unexpected ways through the lives of the people closest to Marcy: her husband and the couple who have remained their friends since high school. A multilayered tale unfolds through their eyes， in which each character seeks to recapture a kernel of long-forgotten goodness. In the tradition of John Updike and John Cheever， Huddle renders these complex relationships with clarity and depth. "For grownups with brains，" said Richard Bausch of Huddle s earlier work. The same is true of The Story of a Million Years， a novel written with poetry， wisdom， and a masterly sense of humanity. |
