Description
Take What You Need by Idra Novey is a moving novel about the complexities of family relationships and the power of creative pursuits. When Jean's estranged stepdaughter Leah returns to their ramshackle home in the Allegheny Mountains, she discovers a treasure trove of giant sculptures made from industrial scraps, as well as a young man living in the house who played an unknown role in Jean's life.
As Leah sorts through what's been left behind, she uncovers a story of love, loss, and art. With great verve and humour, Novey explores the joys and difficulties of family relationships, revealing how distance can mute conflict and how creative pursuits can bring new contentment to our lives.
This is a powerful and resonant novel that illuminates the mystery of the people we love most. It's a story about finding meaning in what others have discarded, and the unexpected friendships that can be forged along the way.
