“A delight of a novel. Brilliant. All the characters developed in fascinating and unpredictable ways.”Leslie Daniels, author of Cleaning Nabokov’s House.
Molly Giles is the WINNER of a Pushcart Prize, The Flannery O’ Connor Prize and The Leapfrog Global Fiction Prize.
At forty-four, Kay Sorensen has quit drinking, smoking, and overeating, and she has almost quit reading self-help books about quitting drinking, smoking and overeating. She has divorced her deadbeat husband, finished college, and landed a job she loves directing a small branch of the county library.
But Kay still has one unconquered addiction: she just can’t say no to someone who needs her.
