Published: July 23, 2018, 11 p.m.

b'Over six winter days in upstate New York the Querry family, its members variously afflicted by painful divorce, bereavement and depression, wrestle with life\\u2019s fundamental questions. Why do some people find living so much harder than others? Is happiness a skill that can be learned, or a lucky accident of birth? Is reflection helpful to happiness or an obstacle to it? Profoundly moving and quietly humorous, Wood\\u2019s second novel is, as Rebecca Adams wrote in the Financial Times, \\u2018stubbornly true to life.\\u2019 Wood read from Upstate (Cape), and discussed it with the audience.
