Annotation:
After an airplane plummets into the sea near Nova Scotia, a disparate group of anxious relatives gathers at a small inn to wait for word about their missing loved ones. As their hope begins to wane, the members begin to express their grief in myriad ways: an Iranian exile tells ancient Persian stories, a couple from Taiwan put out fruit for the dead, and a Bulgarian pianist plays music for his cellist wife. As the gentle innkeeper, Kevin Gearns, tends to the needs of the mourning party, bittersweet bonds begin to form between the bereaved. Brad Kessler writes with a lyrical assuredness as he weaves together myth, music, and the tragic nuances of loss.
