Description
Asparagus and Asides: A Novel About Living with Our Many Selves Anne Korkeakivi's novel is a beautifully written exploration of the complexities of human experience. On the surface, it's about hosting an official dinner party - but as we navigate the intricate web of relationships and encounters that unfold, we're forced to confront our own darker selves. As Clare Moorhouse prepares for her husband's crucial dinner, her day becomes increasingly complicated by unexpected arrivals and encounters. A chance meeting with a Turkish man who is suspected of being a terrorist adds an air of tension to the proceedings, while a familiar face from her past threatens to upend everything she thought she knew about herself. Like a masterful dinner party, Korkeakivi's novel weaves together disparate threads into a rich and nuanced tapestry. With its deceptively simple yet profound exploration of human complexity, this is a novel that will linger in the mind long after the final page has been turned.
