Description
Small World A Novel by Laura Zigman is a heartfelt novel about two sisters who move in together as adults. After her divorce, Joyce settles into being single again and develops a secret hobby: trolling the neighborhood social networking site, Small World, for posts that help solve life's easiest problems. When her older sister, Lydia, calls to tell her she's moving back east from Los Angeles, Joyce invites Lydia to move into her Cambridge apartment. Their unlikely cohabitation turns out to be the post-divorce rebound relationship Joyce hadn't planned on. As they navigate their new living arrangement, old secrets and unresolved emotions surface, threatening to further strain their already fragile bond. The novel explores themes of sisterhood, hope, and the complexities of family relationships. With wry humor and keen sensitivity, Zigman crafts a powerful story that encourages readers to look back in order to move ahead. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience, one that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to reconnect with loved ones or find their place in the world.
