HTML:<b>One of <i>TIME</i> magazine's best summer reads, a "wise" (<i>Entertainment Weekly</i>) and "resplendent" (<i>O, The Oprah Magazine</i>) debut that follows a new widower confronting the truth about his long marriage.</b><br /> After the sudden death of his wife, Maida, Gene is haunted by the fear that their marriage was not all it appeared to be. Alongside Ed and Gayle Donnelly, friends since college days, he tries to resurrect happy memories of the times the two couples shared, raising their children in a small New Hampshire town and vacationing together at a lake house every summer.<br /> Meanwhile, his daughter, Dary, challenges not only his happy version of the past but also his view of Maida. As a long-standing rift between them deepens, Gene starts to understand how unknown his daughter is to him — and how enigmatic his wife was as well. And a lingering suspicion seizes his mind that could upend everything he thought he knew.<br /> Katharine Dion's assured debut moves seamlessly between Gene's present-day journey and the long history of a marriage and friendship. Rich and wonderfully alive, <i>The Dependents</i> is the most moving kind of drama, an intimate glance into the expanse of family life and the way we must all eventually bridge the chasm between what we want to believe and what we know to be true.
