Maggie Callahan booked two weeks in Mexico with one suitcase, one guest, and twenty-four years of marriage finally behind her.
She wanted quiet, and instead she got a table: four women at a resort with nothing but time, a retired teacher and a woman who reads a room in seconds and one who misses nothing and one who feeds everyone.
By the third night they were a table for life; by the fifth, a man was dead on the wet stone path down by the water, and the police were calling it an accident.
Maggie isn't sure she believes them.
But the more she lets herself notice, the closer the answer moves to the women she has spent all week learning to love, until she is holding something she cannot hand back and no one left to tell her what she is allowed to do with it.
This is a warm, quiet, devastating novel about friendship after fifty, the lives we start over, and the terrible weight of a kindness.
For readers of Fredrik Backman and Elizabeth Strout, A Man Like That is the first in the Same Time Next Year series.
