About the book

"After eighteen years of marriage, a man wakes up one morning to find his wife standing in the bedroom doorway with her bags packed, leaving him with no explanation. Alone in their Copenhagen apartment, he tries to make sense of his marriage and his life. Memories of driving a cab, quiet walks in the snow, and intense sojourns in Paris and New York pass through his mind in fleeting visual images. The more he thinks of his wife, however, the more mysterious she becomes to him. Slowly he realizes that two people can live together for years without ever really knowing each other, and that the most important encounters in life are dictated by chance, not design."--BOOK JACKET.
