Jonathan, un ragazzo introverso e insicuro, e Bobby, attraente, benvoluto ma un po' grossolano, non potrebbero essere più diversi: eppure diventano amici inseparabili e poi amanti nel corso di un'intensa e tormentata adolescenza a Cleveland, Ohio. Durante gli anni del college si perdono di vista, per poi ritrovarsi a New York dove Jonathan vive con l'amica del cuore Clare. Quando Bobby si trasferisce da loro e comincia una relazione con la ragazza, gli equilibri sentimentali e interiori dei tre ne vengono inevitabilmente sconvolti.

Come tre fili sottili, s'intrecciano in questo romanzo le vite di tre donne lontane nel tempo. La prima è Virginia Woolf, ritratta nei suoi ultimi giorni e, con un salto temporale, mentre dà vita al personaggio della signora Dalloway.

Peter e Rebecca Harris sono una coppia di mezza età, sposati da oltre vent'anni. Vivono a New York e lavorano entrambi nel campo dell'arte, lui come gallerista e lei come direttrice di una rivista. Benestanti, realizzati, ben inseriti nella vita sociale newyorkese, proprietari di un appartamento in una zona prestigiosa, non hanno preoccupazioni se non il freddo rapporto con la figlia Bea, che vive a Boston. Ai più, comunque, la loro vita sembra perfetta, o perlomeno invidiabile.

Simon, Catherine, Lucas. Un uomo, una donna, un bambino, tre storie ambientate a New York in epoche diverse: la seconda metà del diciannovesimo secolo, il tempo presente, un futuro post atomico imprecisato. In un romanzo sorprendente, tra atmosfere gotiche, suspense da thriller e un'avventura d'amore e di sopravvivenza, una poesia di Walt Whitman attraversa le esistenze dei tre protagonisti in un gioco di specchi tra personaggi che ritornano misteriosamente tra passato, presente e futuro.
