Reviews
"Hypnotically readable--I absolutely couldn't put it down. The structure is brilliant, and I turned the pages with increasing dread. This book is terrific." -- Stephen King "In The Daylight Marriage, there are two mysteries--the whereabouts of a missing woman and the vagaries of the human heart. Heidi Pitlor explores both of these enigmas with equal mastery, merging a shocking crime story with an incisive portrait of a failed marriage. The result is a novel that is fast-moving, emotionally complex, and ultimately heartbreaking." -- Tom Perrotta, author of Nine Inches "Lovell Hall, a climate scientist, struggles to understand the violent forces of hurricanes but forgets to attend to the rising emotional temperatures searing his own family. A moment of uncontained rage sets in motion a tragic vortex. Pitlor's novel is a page-turning exploration of unexpressed love and unnecessary loss. Riveting and heartbreaking." -- Geraldine Brooks, author of Caleb's Crossing "Understated and plausible . . . We learn the truth about what happened to Hannah in a way that's all the more disturbing for its subtlety." -- Entertainment Weekly, "Hypnotically readable--I absolutely couldn't put it down. The structure is brilliant, and I turned the pages with increasing dread. This book is terrific." -- Stephen King "In The Daylight Marriage, there are two mysteries--the whereabouts of a missing woman and the vagaries of the human heart.

A moment of uncontained rage sets in motion a tragic vortex. Pitlor's novel is a page-turning exploration of unexpressed love and unnecessary loss. Riveting and heartbreaking." -- Geraldine Brooks, author of Caleb's Crossing, "[L]ikely to linger in the reader's mind . . . a perfect microscope with which to examine the inexhaustible fascinations of marriage, and as Pitlor flashes between the day of Hannah's disappearance and Lovell's uneasy consideration of their past resentments, she finds a nice voice -- thoughtful, lyrical, unforced."-- New York Times Book Review "Hypnotically readable--I absolutely couldn't put it down. The structure is brilliant, and I turned the pages with increasing dread. This book is terrific." -- Stephen King "Despite the acrid marriage, the his-and-hers narration, and the fact that Lovell quickly emerges as the primary suspect, this isn't really another Gone Girl . It's more an exploration of the way that the tiniest and most impetuous of decisions can suddenly recast a person's life." -- Entertainment Weekly "Beyond the novel's taut suspense and subtle characterization, Pitlor's vivid prose provides an additional pleasure . . . The novel's suspense lasts right until its shocking climax, but the 'messy, wonderful, excruciating lives' of its characters linger in the mind long after the last page." -- The Boston Globe "This Stephen King-approved 'hypnotically readable' novel involves a wife who's vanished and a husband who's trying to understand what's happened, but it's not just another Gone Girl."-- Health Magazine "The novel's easy blending of crime and family narrative deftly cracks open the closed world of Lovell and Hannah's marriage. In this exploration of a woman lost, and a lost love, Pitlor exposes every secret -- frustrations, weaknesses, ugliness -- to the harsh light of day." -- Toronto Star "This is a classic page-turner with just the right amount of human story behind it. The narrative Pitlor constructs for us is a harrowing and deeply real tale of loss: loss of innocence, of loved ones, of ourselves." -- Everyday Ebook "This spellbinding novel of suspense from the author of The Birthdays is told with great sympathy, as tension builds toward an inexorable conclusion. It can also be read as a cautionary tale both about a failed marriage and about how one impulsive decision can lead to a very dark place." -- Library Journal "Pitlor brings forth the emotions that surge beneath the surface with the precision and power of a conductor . . . This powerful analysis of how dreams become nightmares will make readers want to hold their loved ones close." -- Booklist , starred review "In The Daylight Marriage, there are two mysteries--the whereabouts of a missing woman and the vagaries of the human heart.

Synopsis
When Hannah vanishes the morning after an explosive argument with her husband, Lovell, he must try to piece together what happened to his wife--and to their life together. While the police gather clues, the reader watches Hannah's every move, as hastily made decisions prove irrevocable. The Daylight Marriage is a riveting puzzle that mines the dark and delicate nature of a marriage., "Hypnotically readable--absolutely couldn't put it down . . . This book is terrific." --Stephen King Hannah was tall and graceful, naturally pretty, spirited and impulsive, the upper-class young woman who picked, of all men, Lovell---the introverted climate scientist who thought he could change the world if he could just get everyone to listen to reason. After a magical honeymoon, they settled in the suburbs to raise their two children. But over the years, Lovell and Hannah's conversations have become charged with resentments and unspoken desires. She has become withdrawn. His work affords him a convenient distraction. And then, after one explosive argument, Hannah vanishes. For the first time, Lovell is forced to examine the trajectory of his marriage through the lens of memory. As he tries to piece together what happened to his wife--and to their life together--readers follow Hannah on that single day when a hasty decision proves irrevocable. With haunting intensity, a seamless balance of wit and heartbreak, and the emotional acuity that author Heidi Pitlor brings to every page, The Daylight Marriage mines the dark and delicate nature of a marriage. "A page-turning exploration of unexpressed love and unnecessary loss. Riveting and heartbreaking." --GERALDINE BROOKS, author of Caleb's Crossing "In The Daylight Marriage, there are two mysteries--the whereabouts of a missing woman and the vagaries of the human heart. Heidi Pitlor explores both of these enigmas with equal mastery, merging a shocking crime story with an incisive portrait of a failed marriage. The result is a novel that is fast-moving, emotionally complex, and ultimately heartbreaking." --Tom Perrotta, author of Nine Inches "Pitlor brings forth the emotions that surge beneath the surface with the precision and power of a conductor . . . This powerful analysis of how dreams become nightmares will make readers want to hold their loved ones close." -- Booklist, starred review
