They came alone when they needed to get away from each other, and together when they had something important to discuss. The Park has been their witness for half a century of love. Until now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane is dying, and Abe is recounting their life together as a way of keeping them going: the parts they knew their courtship and early marriage, their blossoming creative lives and the parts they didn t always want to know the determined young student of Abe s looking for a love story of her own, and their son, Max, who believes his mother chose art over parenthood, and who has avoided love and intimacy at all costs.
