A New York Times Notable Book Of The Year, A furious and addictive new novel (The New York Times) about mothers and daughters, and one woman's midlife reckoning as she flees her suburban life. Exhilarating . . . reads like a burning fever dream. A virtuosic, singular and very funny portrait of a woman seeking sanity and purpose in a world gone mad. The New York Times Book Review Samantha Raymond's life has begun to come apart- her mother is ill, her teenage daughter is increasingly remote, and at fifty-two she finds herself staring into ""the Mids"" that hour of supreme wakefulness between three and four in the morning in which women of a certain age suddenly find themselves contemplating motherhood, mortality, and, in this case, the state of our unraveling nation. When she falls in love with a beautiful, decrepit house in a hardscrabble neighborhood in Syracuse, she buys it on a whim and flees her suburban life and her family as she grapples with how to be a wife, a mother, and a daughter, in a country that is coming apart at the seams. Dana Spiotta's Wayward is a stunning novel about aging, about the female body, and about female complexity in contemporary America. Probing and provocative, brainy and sensual, it is a testament to our weird times, to reforms and resistance.
