Set in Paris, California, Italy, and Spain, Joan Frank's second
story collection explores the uncertainties and triumphs of women
and men in and out of love and marriage, at varying ages and stages
of contemporary American life. By turns wry, pained, and amused,
"In Envy Country"investigates those small, complex truths that gain
clarity with time and distance.
"Joan Frank shows us ourselves. . . . Meticulously observed,
with sentences that will make you stop and go back for another
look." --Ehud Havazelet, author of "Bearing the Body" and "Like
Never Before"
"These stories each have a wonderful, intimate feel. . . .
Written with authority and intelligence, they are layered and
subtle . . . serious, and yet take us back to the sense of
discovery; reading them is fun." --Elizabeth Strout, author of
"Olive Kitteridge" and "Abide with Me"
"Nothing escaps Joan Frank; her stories of not-so-innocent
bystanders gleam with subtlety, intelligence, and sly wit." --Brian
Morton, author of "Breakable You "and "Starting Out in the Evening
"
"A worldly collection in all the best ways; a writer of unusual
wit, sophistication, and psychological insight; reading these pages
is a pleasure." --Margot Livesey, author of "The House on Fortune
Street "
