Our Take
An elderly couple take a weekend in Amsterdam and the cracks in their marriage surface like ice. MacLaverty writes Gerry's alcoholism and Stella's secret faith as parallel deceptions — each narrating a version of the marriage the other would not recognise. The quiet devastation of a lifetime of not quite connecting.
