About this book
A historian, trying to finish a long-overdue book on Isaac Newton, rents a cottage not far by train from Dublin for the summer. He starts a relationship with one of the members of the family he rents from. As the lives around him change, he gives up on his writing, only to have his life change as well. The entirety of the story is written in a letter to a friend.
