Description
A quietly thrilling novel unfolds over twenty minutes in the life of Mike, as he sits down to feed his infant daughter. Baker's masterful recreation of Mike's roving mind is both funny and profound, touching on big questions about fatherhood, marriage, and love.
Through a series of tangential thoughts and observations, Baker brings to life the small mysteries and pleasures of everyday life with remarkable warmth and exuberance. The result is a novel that is both tender and alive, full of the quiet joys and struggles of family life.
