From the back cover

On the morning of their anniversary trip to Kyoto, Jude abandons his wife at the boarding gate because Miranda has a toothache. She boards the plane alone, and in Kyoto she watches his post holding Miranda's hand in a dentist's chair, the wedding band she designed still on his finger. For seven years he has broken every promise for the girl he calls a sister, and this year she recites her vows to an empty chapel.

When she returns, her key code no longer works; the passcode is now Miranda's birthday. The couch, the plants, the bedroom and the closet have all been remade for Miranda, and the red scarf her dying mother knitted for Jude has been thrown away as musty. Digging through the rain for it, she collapses with a dark stain spreading across her jeans.

She calls a divorce lawyer, and Jude never answers her calls.
