'Fans of Elizabeth Strout and Anne Tyler will devour it.' - Daily
Mirror Darkly witty, deeply moving - Jackie Polzin's Brood is a
startlingly original debut novel about motherhood, marriage and
grief, full of sorrow, joy and unrelenting hope. Over the course of
a single year, our nameless narrator heroically tries to keep her
small brood of four chickens alive despite the seemingly endless
challenges that caring for another creature entails - and all the
while struggling to confront her own recent loss. From the
forty-below nights of a brutal Minnesota winter to a sweltering
summer which brings a surprise tornado, she battles predators, bad
luck, and the uncertainty of a future that may not look anything
like the one she always imagined. 'Full of surprise, humor, grief,
and wisdom.' - Karen Joy Fowler, author of We Are All Completely
Beside Ourselves 'The most vibrant and compelling slice of life
I've been privy to in a great while.' - Claire Lombardo, author of
The Most Fun We Ever Had 'Splendidly unsentimental, quirky, witty,
smart and a complete one-off.' - Clare Chambers, author of Small
Pleasures
