Description
Visiting New York City last summer, Neville went to call on the metaphysical bookstore where he had long bought books from a woman named Mary, only to be told by a friend that Mary had been struck by a car and killed a month earlier; she had never been interested in what his books contained and never gave him a chance to tell her what he had experienced.
