*'Furious and addictive' New York Times *'Urgent, deeply moving,
wholly original' George Saunders, the Man Booker-Prize winning
author of Lincoln in the Bardo *'A dazzling lightning bolt of a
novel' Jenny Offill *'Fiercely funny and deliciously subversive'
Yiyun Li Just as it seems she has it all, Samantha Raymond's life
begins to come apart: Trump has been elected, her mother is ill and
her teenage daughter is increasingly remote. 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
