From an award-winning author, a literary novel about a woman's romantic obsession "is not only beautiful, but an extraordinary and very modern achievement" (The New York Observer).

Mislabeled boxes, problems with visiting nurses, confusing notes, an outing to the county fair -- such are the obstacles in the way of the unnamed narrator of The End of the Story as she attempts to organize her memories of a love affair into a novel. With compassion, wit, and what appears to be candor she seeks to determine what she actually knows about herself and her past, but we begin to suspect, along with her, that given the elusiveness of memory and understanding, any tale retrieved from the past must be fiction.

"Constructed in brutally perceptive and dazzlingly revelatory prose, this is a stunning work." -- Booklist

"This breathtakingly elegant and unsentimental first novel is about passion, regret, and memory: about the psychology of the spot where recollection and loss intersect." -- Details Magazine

"Extraordinary." -- Newsday
