Beschreibung

<p>'<i>Wayward</i> reads like a burning fever dream. A virtuosic, singular and very funny portrait of a woman seeking sanity and purpose in a world gone mad' <i>New York Times Book Review</i><br>[insert 5 stars] 'If there's any justice in the world, Spiotta's firecracker of a novel, <i>Wayward</i>, will bring her the attention she very much deserves' Lucy Scholes, <i>Sunday Telegraph</i><br><br>Samantha Raymond's life has begun to come apart: her mother is ill, her teenage daughter is increasingly remote, and she finds herself staring into 'the Mids' - hours of supreme wakefulness when women of a certain age contemplate their lives. For Sam, this means motherhood, mortality and the state of an unravelling nation. <br>When Sam falls in love with a decrepit Arts and Crafts house on the wrong side of town, she buys it on a whim and flees her suburban life, attempting to find beauty in the ruins.<br><br>'One of the most wildly talented writers in America. This is Spiotta's best book yet' George Saunders<br>'A slyly funny, clever and compelling story about the righteous (and rarely irrational) rage of women of a certain age' Sarra Manning, <i>Red magazine </i><br>'A piercing novel about what we lose and gain by when we step out of life's deepest worn grooves' <i>Vogue</i><br>'She writes with sly humour and utter seriousness; a rare articulation of midlife now' Claire Messud</p>
