Book description
Jenny has devoted her life to her husband, the naturalist Wilkie
Walker. She is as rare a creature as the endangered species he works to
preserve. But this year, as winter comes on, Wilkie seems distant and
depressed. In desperation Jenny persuades him to visit Key West, but the
sun and tropical scenery do nothing to cheer him up. As he grows even
stranger, Jenny becomes involved with some exotic local characters -
including Gerry, an ex-beatnik poet, and Lee, the dramatically
attractive manager of a women-only guest house.
