How much can a family forgive?
Francis Gleeson and Brian Stanhope, rookie NYPD cops, are neighbors in the suburbs.
What happens behind closed doors in both houses – the loneliness of Francis’s wife, Lena, and
the instability of Brian’s wife, Anne, sets the stage for the explosive events to come.
In Mary Beth Keane’s extraordinary novel, a lifelong friendship and love blossoms between
Kate Gleeson and Peter Stanhope, born six months apart. One shocking night their loyalties
are divided, and their bond will be tested again and again over the next 30 years. Heartbreaking
and redemptive, Ask Again, Yes is a gorgeous and generous portrait of the daily intimacies of
marriage and the power of forgiveness.
