To donate the land to a trust, Agnes must convince shareholders to dissolve a generations-old partnership. One of those shareholders is her best friend, Polly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePolly Wister has led a different kind of life than Agnes: that of a well-off married woman with children, defined by her devotion to her husband, and philosophy professor with an inflated sense of stature. She exalts in creating beauty and harmony in her home, in her friendships, and in her family. Polly soon finds her loyalties torn between the wishes of her best friend and the wishes of her three sons—but what is it that Polly wants herself?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgnes’s designs are further muddied when an enterprising young book editor named Maud Silver sets out to convince Agnes to write her memoirs.
