loves literature and her work as a botanist for the university in
her hometown. More at home with plants than people, May begins to
suspect she isn't very good at friendship and wonders if it's
possible to improve with practice. Granted some leave from her job,
she sets out on a journey to spend time with four long-neglected
friends. Smart, funny, and full of compassion, Rules for Visiting
is the story of a search for friendship in the digital age, a
singular look at the way we stay in touch. While May travels, she
studies her friends' lives and begins to confront the pain of her
own. With simplicity and honesty, Jessica Francis Kane has crafted
an exquisite story about a woman trying to find a new way to be in
the world. This nourishing book, with its beautiful contemplation
of travel, trees, family, and friendship, is the perfect antidote
to our chaotic times.
