An Editor’s Summary After his girlfriend of four years—whom he thought was “the one”—broke up with him for no apparent reason, Lancelot, a shoe-shiner at JFK’s Terminal 5, goes on a mission to find out why their relationship failed. Every customer that visits his stand in this highly trafficked terminal of the airport is bait for the author and his questions about marriage, love, and relationships. Over 6 months, he gathers as much information as he can from people of diverse backgrounds to understand what makes marriages and other relationships last and what makes them fail. Each person serves as a key component in solving Lancelot’s personal puzzle, as he tries to put together the pieces and formulate his own conclusions about relationships. One hundred people, 100 different stories, and all for one man’s quest.
