A stop in the park

This book succeeds in going into the minds of both a husband and a wife as they struggle to reignite the love they once had. The author shows a marked understanding of human behavior as she weaves her story with skill and compassion for both players. She also seamlessly interjects a sub-plot involving a chess master, whom the husband meets in a stop in the park. This serendipitous stop not only helps the husband look at his marriage in a whole different way, but it also helps him examine the career he's chosen.
