Where You Are by Michael Burns
Where You Are is set in a small New Hampshire city in the late summer and fall of 1963. Paul Embry’s wife of less than a year has left him a cryptic note and has disappeared from his life. The story centers on Paul’s ambivalence about his marriage, his attachment to the place of his birth, (a depressed New Hampshire mill town), and his subsequent affair with his wife’s best friend in his wife’s absence. The story’s climax revolves around the days of the assassination of JFK. Although the politics attending the Kennedy administration, and the times are more a backdrop for this story, the events in Dallas play a key role in Paul’s life as he struggles to make up his mind whether to accede to his wife’s wishes and join her in San Francisco, or remain loyal to his birthplace and dubious friends.
