Styll in Love (Hardcover)

Tom Styll's wife, Constance, has left him for reasons he can't fathom. She has run off to a lakeside cabin with their infant son and her father, and Tom has hired a mysterious lawyer named Margaret Fowler to discuss the possibilities of divorce.

His wife Constance writes him tender epistles urging him to vow continence -- to be sexually indifferent as a fish, as she herself has vowed. She suggests that he think of her as Heloise to his Abelard, a lifestyle her provocative temper has never suggested.

It is strangely enough Tom's attempts to understand the various poses of Margaret Fowler, his lawyer that leads him, not only to the heart of his lost wife, but to the substance of his own heart.

Set in Kalamzoo, Michigan, "Styll In Love" is a moving tale of lost love and unexpected joy. Rich in subtlety it asks us: What is gained by loss?
