Description

Stay and Fight A Novel by Madeline ffitch is a protest novel that challenges our notions of effective action. Set in a region known for its independent spirit, the story shakes up what it means to be a family, to live well, and to make peace with nature. A makeshift family forms when Helen invites a new family to join her in a rural home, where they must split the work and the food, build a house, and make a life that sustains them. As the outside world brings clamor into their lives, the family must navigate the system and make deals with the land. Absorbingly spun and perfectly voiced, Stay and Fight is a marvel of storytelling that both breaks with tradition and celebrates it. It is a family novel that refuses to limit the term, and its flawed, cantankerous characters remind us that conflict isn't the end of love, but the real beginning.
