The New York Times bestselling author of The Last
Romantics delivers a wise, timely, big-hearted novel of unplanned
isolation and newly forged community. Where does one go, you might
ask, when the world falls apart? When the immutable facts of your
life—the mundane, the trivial, the take-for-granted minutiae that
once filled every second of every day—suddenly disappear? Where
does one go in such dire and unexpected circumstances? I went home,
of course. Â MURBRIDGE COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARD FREE: 500 cans
of corn. Accidentally ordered them online. I really hate corn.
Happy to help load. REMINDER: use your own goddamn garbage can for
your own goddamn pet waste. I’m looking at you Peter Luflin.
REMINDER: monthly Select Board meeting this Friday. Agenda items:
1) sludge removal; 2) upkeep of chime tower; 3) ice rink monitor

[email protected] Darcy Clipper, prodigal daughter, nearly
thirty, has returned home to Murbridge, Massachusetts, after her
life takes an unwelcome left turn. Murbridge, Darcy is convinced,
will welcome her home and provide a safe space in which she can
nurse her wounds and harbor grudges, both real and imagined. But
Murbridge, like so much else Darcy thought to be fixed and
immutable, has changed. And while Darcy’s first instinct might be
to hole herself up in her childhood bedroom, subsisting on Chef
Boy-R-Dee and canned chickpeas, it is human nature to do two
things: seek out meaningful human connection and respond to
anonymous internet postings. As Murbridge begins to take shape
around Darcy, both online and in person, Darcy will consider the
most fundamental of American questions: What can she ask of her
community? And what does she owe it in return?
