| Sumario: | "Marta doesn't mean to kill her husband. In fact, she hardly believes that he's dead at all. After a grisly accident leaves her husband drowned at the bottom of Lake Michigan, she begins a frenzied investigation of the afterlife that soon drags in everyone around her, from her mother-in-law to the private detectives parked outside her front door, as she tries to dig herself free of her own deadly mistakes. Meanwhile, Peter is a young paralegal at the firm hired to investigate her role in her husband's death, who is grappling with his own grief in the wake of his older brother's suicide and the distance that seems to have opened between himself and his family, himself and his oldest friends, and himself and everyone else in the city of Chicago. After learning about Marta's case, he becomes fascinated with her. On an outing when he's supposed to interview her neighbors for more information on her, he instead knocks on Marta's door and warns her that a company of private detectives is preparing to make her life miserable. Marta slams the door on him, but later calls his number and sets up a time to hear him out. A story of grief, devotion, and unforgivable mistakes, The Diver explores the distances that cannot be recovered, the accidents that cannot be undone, and the risks of love"-- |
