At fifty-two she finds herself staring into \'the Mids\' - those night-time hours of supreme wakefulness where women of a certain age contemplate their lives. In Sam\'s case, this means motherhood, mortality, and the state of an unravelling nation.When Sam falls in love with a beautiful, decrepit house on the wrong side of town, she buys it on a whim and flees her suburban life - and her family - in an attempt to find beauty in the ruins.\'Exhilarating. . . A virtuosic, singular and very funny portrait of a woman seeking sanity and purpose in a world gone mad\' New York Times Book Review\'What begins as a vertiginous leap into hilarious rabbit holes ends as a brilliant meditation on mortality and time. How does she do it? Only Dana Spiotta knows. I\'m just happy to see her work her magic\' Jenny Offill Σελίδες: 288, Έτος Έκδοσης: 0208, Διαστάσεις: 13.4x13.4cm
