Retreat From Moscow April 10, 2007

'The Retreat from Moscow' concerns a longtime marriage that should have lasted but for some reason begins to fall apart. When the husband suddenly walks out and destroys his wife's world in the process, it's left to their bewildered son to figure out what happened and begin picking up the pieces of their shattered lives. With wry humor and succinct touches that come from absolute familiarity with his subject, William Nicholson builds a nuanced tale of domestic heartbreak.
