Synopsis:
Sale edition. It only takes a moment for your life to be change forever - as the characters in this darkly comic novel discover early on. This is a clever and insightful novel about love's collision with harsh reality, told by an author with a remarkable instinct for the workings of human nature.
The fateful moment for the newlyweds Ross and Iliana comes with the freak car accident that leaves Iliana paralyzed, Ross grief-stricken, and both of them struggling to come to terms with a married life nothing like they originally had in mind. As the usually affable Ross struggles with guilt and with finding ways to cope with his now fractured life, Iliana accustoms herself to being a wheelchair-bound wife, to her husband's growing sense of alienation, and to their awkward new lack of intimacy.
However, what ultimately happens with Ross and Iliana is as unexpected and surprising as the fateful mishap that sets the events in motion in the first place.
"A novel of substance that is a delight to read. Caroline Adderson treats the domestic drama with elegance and wit, and what she has to say about her characters and their circumstances is often profound - not to mention surprisingly funny, too. This novel is the real thing." Meg Wolitzer, author.
"Adderson's prose is characterized by fierce intelligence, razor-sharp wit, and wry omniscience. She writes with a tone of subdued mirth or bemused wisdom that lends the book both immediacy and intimacy. In her hands, sex, religion, parenting, even something as simple as making bread come from a completely unexpected vantage that makes them suddenly new and strange." Vancouver Sun. |
