Description

The Skunks by Fiona Warnick is a coming-of-age story about the complexities of crushes, desire, friendship, and modern life. When Isabel spots three baby skunks in her yard, their presence becomes a strangely thrilling break from the expected, feeling like a fortuitous sign from the universe.

As the summer unfolds, Isabel becomes increasingly preoccupied with the skunks, while navigating her various jobs and an ambiguous relationship with Eli, the son of the couple she's house-sitting for. In her own life and in the imagined inner lives of the skunks, Isabel ponders the nature of existence and love.

This unforgettable story explores the many small moments that make us animal, make us human, and the intricacies of modern life through the eyes of a young woman struggling to find her place in the world.
