What is A Circle Around Her : a Novel about?

As Mary Lanaghan approaches fifty years of age, her children have grown and moved away from the small town in northern Massachusetts where Mary relocated after her divorce. Her days are circumscribed by lake, woods, and sky, by pensive walks in the forest with her dog. Her closest friends are her near neighbors on the lake, two gay men who own the town diner and provide some much needed sparkle in this quiet town. A Circle Around Her is Jonathan Strong's warm, thoughtful novel about a long, fateful season that brings Mary together with an extended family of children, friends, and lovers. "This is the entrancing story of a woman poised between the summer and the autumn of her life. Jonathan Strong makes us feel the cool breezes beneath the shortening days, and he shows us how time complicates and colors our desires. This is a heartening novel. In each bittersweet encounter, Mary Lanaghan and her loved ones learn what it means to let go without giving up."?Michael Downing "With spare, fluid prose, Mr. Strong envelops his characters in a dreamy, womblike world, delineating in knowing and delicate detail all the bliss and blundering that are part of life and love."? The New York Times
