Spanning the late 1970s to the late 1980s, Nadia Bozak’s thirteen
stories are narrated from the perspective of Shell, the only child
of bohemian artisans determined to live off their handicrafts and
uphold a left-wing lifestyle. At the age of five, Shell’s world
is transformed when the family moves into a new house, where she
grows up. Over time, she gradually trades her unconventional
upbringing for junk food, rock music, and boys. All the while,
Shell quietly watches her parents’ loveless marriage fall apart
and learns to survive divorce, weight gain, heartache, and first
love. A funny, sensitive portrayal of the innocence and uncertainty
of childhood and adolescence, Thirteen Shells is a true-to-life
collection that is as unforgettable as it is poignant.
