Description
Karen, an attractive and popular student, falls into a coma one night in 1979. During her long sleep, she gives birth to a healthy baby daughter. When Karen awakens eighteen years later, she finds herself transformed - a middle-aged mother whose friends have all experienced the normal trials and tribulations of marriage, social life, and politics. This novel is a tragicomedy that explores the dynamics of modern relationships with Coupland's characteristic wit and accuracy. Written by the author of Generation X, Shampoo Planet, Life After God, Microserfs, and Polaroids from the Dead, it offers a nuanced portrayal of modern life and its complexities. Coupland's writing is marked by acute observation, making this book a thought-provoking read for those interested in exploring the human experience.
