The Quiet Desperation Behind Picturesque Facades
In the coastal town of Crosby, Maine, ordinary lives conceal extraordinary pain. Bob Burgess, a lawyer who returned from New York fifteen years ago, walks regularly with famous writer Lucy Barton along the frozen river. During these walks, they reveal their deepest fears to each other. "The reason I used to drink too much is because I'm terrified. I'm always terrified," Bob confesses, explaining his nightly wine consumption and smoking habit. Lucy responds with understanding, creating connection through shared emotional honesty. The pandemic has left its mark on everyone. Housing prices have skyrocketed, forcing longtime residents like Charlene Bibber to sell their homes. Despite having money from the sale, she realizes it won't sustain her for long in the changing economy. Her story represents the growing divide in small towns across America. Winter brings "a sense of compression... of being squeezed" for Bob, whose heart "flickers with anxiety" due to both the season and "the state of the world." Christmas decorations appear early, but for Bob, the holidays bring sadness stemming from a childhood memory when he innocently told his widowed mother he didn't like Christmas, causing her to cry-a "thumbprint pressed deeply into his soul of real sorrow and regret." Isn't this the human condition? We walk through life carrying invisible burdens while presenting composed exteriors to the world.
