Sophie Whelan, a young immigrant from Ireland, dreaming at any cost to escape from a shabby apartment in New York, responds to a marriage advertisement in the newspaper and agrees to marry a man about whom she knows nothing at all. Her fiancé - Martin Hocking, a widower from San Francisco - stunningly good-looking, but he is completely indifferent to Sophie. The young woman immediately sympathizes with Martin's five-year-old daughter Kat. But she almost does not talk. This and Martin's strange behavior inspire Sophie with a sense of anxiety, she begins to understand that in her new life something is wrong. One evening in early spring, a strange woman comes to her home, and a chain of important events follows. Sophie learns of Martin's carefully concealed liaisons with two other women. The fates of these three women intertwine shortly before a devastating earthquake forces them to embark on a perilous journey that will test their resilience, determination and - ultimately - their belief that love overcomes fear. "The Nature of Fragile Things" - emotionally imbued exciting book by a popular American writer about the bonds of friendship, maternal love and the power of female solidarity.
