Hayes and his team jumped in their ambulance and were soon pulling up in front of a suburban two-story house, where paramedics and other first responders were also arriving.

When people think about stages of life that can strain relationships, they often reflect on the first sleepless years of child rearing or the phase of parenting that involves rebellious teens.

The elegant, effortless world-building in Téa Obreht’s haunting new novel, “The Morningside,” begins with a map.
