Description
A Gate at the Stairs A Novel by Lorrie Moore is set against the backdrop of America's growing involvement in the Middle East. Tassie Keltjin, a young woman from a rural Midwestern farm family, has left home to attend university and experience the complexities of culture and politics. She takes on a part-time nanny job for a mysterious and glamorous couple, whose newly-adopted child becomes increasingly central to her life. As Tassie navigates this new world, she finds herself drawn into a complex web of relationships and experiences that challenge her sense of identity. Her past and present begin to blur, and the year unfolds in unexpected ways. Through Tassie's narrative, Lorrie Moore explores themes of love, belonging, and self-discovery. This lyrical and thought-provoking novel offers a nuanced portrayal of our times, refracted through the eyes of a memorable and relatable narrator.
