Fall books are back, and we’re delighted to be giving away this new one from Claire Alexander, which was a big hit when it was recently published in the UK.
“The brilliant author of this brilliant book” will have you laughing and crying as Meredith, after spending three years inside her house, figures out how to rejoin the world one step at a time (Gillian McAllister, author of the Reese’s Book Club Wrong Place Wrong Time).
She has a full-time remote job and her rescue cat Fred. Her best friend Sadie visits with her two children. There’s her online support group, her jigsaw puzzles and favorite recipes, her beloved Emily Dickinson poems. Also keeping her company are treacherous memories of an unstable childhood and a traumatic event that had sent her reeling.
But something’s about to change. First, two new friends burst into her life. Then her long-estranged sister gets in touch. Suddenly her carefully curated home is no longer a space to hide. Whether Meredith likes it or not, the world is coming to her door…
We have one copy to give away to Fug Nation today.
THE TASK: As usual, I’ll be picking the winner at random. To enter, please share your favorite piece of media where someone’s home plays an important role. (This can be fluid! Like, I’d say Rosemary’s Baby, since nearly the entire movie takes place in The Dakota, and the neighbors are key. Only Murders in the Building is another obvious choice. Etc!)
THE RULES: All entries must be posted in the comments of this post by 9 p.m. Pacific time on Friday. FYI, if this is the first time you’ve commented here, the system will automatically kick you into comment moderation, but don’t worry, I will rescue you. (Open to US readers only; all prizing courtesy of the publisher.)
