Publisher's Summary

Over the years, Lovell and Hannah's conversations have become charged with resentments and unspoken desires. She's become withdrawn and directionless. His work affords him a convenient distraction. The children can sense the tension, which they've learned to mostly ignore. Until, after one explosive argument, Hannah vanishes. And Lovell, for the first time, is forced to examine the trajectory of his marriage through the lens of memory - and the eyes of his children.

As he tries to piece together what happened to his wife - and to their lives together - listeners follow Hannah through that single day when the smallest of decisions takes her to places she never intended to go.

With the intensity of The Lovely Bones, the balance of wit and heartbreak of The Descendants, and the emotional acuity of Anne Tyler, The Daylight Marriage is at its heart a novel about what happens when our intuitions override our logic and with a plot that doesn't reveal its secrets until the very end.

What the critics say

"Hypnotically readable - I absolutely couldn't put it down. The structure is brilliant, and I turned the pages with increasing dread. This book is terrific." (Stephen King)
"A page-turning exploration of unexpressed love and unnecessary loss. Riveting and heartbreaking." (Geraldine Brooks)
"In The Daylight Marriage, there are two mysteries - the whereabouts of a missing woman, and the vagaries of the human heart. Heidi Pitlor explores both of these enigmas with equal mastery, merging a shocking crime story with an incisive portrait of a failed marriage. The result is a novel that is fast-moving, emotionally complex, and ultimately heartbreaking." (Tom Perrotta)
