Description

Kathleen Alcott's debut collection explores the complexities of American life through ten powerful and thought-provoking stories. From the hidden perils of class ascension to the guilt that stalks those who survive, these portraits of addiction, love, misogyny, and sexual power are both surprising and deeply unsettling. Set against the backdrop of European cities and California towns, Alcott's writing takes a nuanced look at the women who navigate these worlds. With taut prose and a keen eye for detail, she examines the ways in which our pasts shape us, often in unexpected ways. Through her stories, Alcott sheds light on the darker corners of human experience, revealing the intricate web of relationships that bind us together. This is a collection that will linger long after you finish reading it.
