Quote:
"As she and Ollie part, [Kate] agrees to meet him at the lake ten years from the day they met. The site of their first meeting has taken on its own meaningful existence independent of their transformed daily lives. [Andrea] Dorfman suggests that no matter where we go in life, it is the local places we inhabit that live in our memories and help shape our identities. Parsley Days celebrates the local as a site of self-knowledge and familiarity in the face of anxieties that threaten to disrupt our routine."
