The Most by Jessica Anthony

A Memoir of More

Set on November 3, 1957, "The Most" follows the lives of Virgil and Kathleen Beckett. Virgil, an insurance salesman, goes about his routine, while Kathleen, a former tennis champion turned homemaker, decides to skip church and instead revisits her past by donning an old red bathing suit. She heads to the empty swimming pool of their apartment complex in Newark, Delaware, and chooses to stay there. The story unfolds over eight hours, delving into the complexities and hidden truths of their seemingly perfect mid-century marriage.
