Everything about fifteen-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan
is lonely and off-kilter, until she meets her neighbor, the manic,
beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate
for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little
more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blonde hair. As
the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small
town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts -
first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits
harden and calcify. Within the year, Marlena is dead, drowned in
six inches of icy water in the woods nearby. Now, decades later,
when a ghost from that pivotal year surfaces unexpectedly, Cat must
try to forgive herself and move on, even as the memory of Marlena
keeps her tangled in the past. Alive with an urgent, unshakeable
tenderness, Julie Buntin's Marlena is an unforgettable look at the
people who shape us beyond reason and the ways it might be possible
to pull oneself back from the brink.
