Evening



Updated: 2007-07-02 09:00





Overcome by the power of memory, Ann Lord reveals a long-held secret to
her concerned daughters; Constance, a content wife and mother, and Nina,
a restless single woman. Both are bedside when Ann calls out for the man
she loved more than any other. But who is this “Harris,” wonder her
daughters, and what is he to our mother? While Constance and Nina try to
take stock of Ann’s life and their own lives, their mother is tended to
by a night nurse as she journeys in her mind back to a summer weekend
some fifty years ago, when she was Ann Grant, a young woman who has come
from New York City to be maid of honor at the high-society Newport
wedding of her dearest friend from college, Lila Wittenborn. The
bride-to-be is jittery, and turns to her maid-of-honor, rather than her
own mother, for support. Ann stays close to her friend, yet is even
closer to Lila's irrepressible brother Buddy. Unexpected feelings surge
forth once Ann meets wedding guest Harris Arden, a lifelong friend and
intimate of the Wittenborn family. Ann's love for Harris will change her
life, and those of her daughters, forever.
