Happenstance is a unique novel, its events taking place in one week, telling two stories. Both recount the same events, from a wife's perspective and from her husband's. Both stories are written in a third-person stream-of-consciousness style, but they differ in style to highlight the difference between the male and female voice. Intimate, insightful and never sentimental, Happenstance is a profound portrait of a marriage and of those differences between the sexes that brings life - and a sense of isolation - into the most loving relationships.
