Julian and Claire meet briefly in 1985, and during the succeeding years they part, come together, part again, marry other people, and meet for one last brief interlude. Then Claire commits suicide. Shattered, Julian goes to the scene of her death to find out the truth of what happened.

Industry Reviews
"An acutely sensitive love story....The prose is certainly luminous, but the passions are so etiolated and inert that neither the narrator nor the woman he loves seems credible flesh and blood....Very precious, very trite-seeming. LOVE STORY it's not."
Kirkus Reviews (12/01/2001)
"...CLAIRE MARVEL rises above sentimental clichés, leaving us profoundly aware of the vagaries of love....That John Burnham Schwartz had the courage to write a love story in an age when love is no longer a sustaining metaphor and that he did so with great skill, restraint, and beauty attests to his talent as a writer."
