Joshua Henkin’s prior novels (“The World Without You,” “Matrimony,” “Swimming Across the Hudson”) tend to linger in mind long after plot particulars have slipped into memory’s mists, for a shared quality of voice – a voice perhaps best characterized by compassionate attention to modern human predicaments.
