Summary:

Anjou Lovett was conceived under a pear tree one half-moon night in August 1965. Not much in her life has been quite as poetic since. Her father left five weeks before sister Stella was born and returns only to set in motion a pattern of coming and going that would define their family. With this sad, sordid history behind her, the thirty-two-year-old Anjou is unprepared for the entrance of handsome, successful Alex into her life. But after two near idyllic years together, he too comes home one day and says "We end to talk about us." What follows is this emotionally honest, imaginative story of a woman confronting the demons of her past and the absurdities of her present. With Goldner's light and "uncommonly perceptive" (New York Times Book Review) touch, The Number We End Up With is both a page-turner and literary exploration of the power of forgiveness.
