Description
Samantha Raymond's life is on the verge of collapse. Her mother is ill, her teenage daughter is increasingly remote, and the world seems to be spiralling out of control. As she approaches 52, she finds herself staring into the 'Mids' - those night-time hours of supreme wakefulness where women of a certain age contemplate their lives. In a desperate bid to find beauty in the ruins, she buys a decrepit house on the wrong side of town and flees her suburban life.
This exhilarating novel is a virtuosic portrait of a woman seeking sanity and purpose in a world gone mad. With a wicked sense of humour and a keen eye for the absurdities of modern life, Dana Spiotta explores the complexities of motherhood, mortality, and the state of an unravelling nation.
Partly a comedy, partly a meditation on the human condition, Wayward is a dazzling and original novel that will leave you questioning everything.
