Oliver ?Himmel ?enjoys ?a ?simple, ?if ?unrewarding, ?life ?in ?the ?small ?town ?of ?Acheron, ?Vermont. ?If ?he ?isn't ?dodging ?collections ?agents, ?he's ?more ?than ?likely ?having ?a ?beer ?with ?his ?best ?friend ?Buck, ?a ?bookseller ?and ?successful ?non-profiteer. ?For ?better ?or ?worse, ?Oliver ?has ?achieved ?the ?kind ?of ?stability ?only ?possible ?when ?you've ?found ?a ?rut, ?and ?begun ?to ?furnish ?it. ?But ?all ?this ?falls ?apart ?when ?Carissa, ?for ?whom ?Oliver ?has ?long ?nursed ?a ?longing, ?returns ?to ?Acheron ?and ?moves ?in ?with ?Buck. ?Her ?arrival ?precipitates ?a ?series ?of ?mostly ?unfortunate ?events ?that ?will ?ultimately ?send ?Oliver ?halfway ?across ?the ?world ?in ?the ?service ?of ?Henry ?Hoffmann, ?local ?magnate ?and ?enfant ?terrible. ?But ?rather ?than ?relief ?or ?self-revelation, ?Oliver's ?journey ?serves ?up ?a ?sobering ?reminder ?of ?what ?he ?fears ?most: ?that ?he ?will ?always ?be ?alone ?in ?the ?shadow ?of ?other ?people's ?love.
