That they eat, sleep, and work side by side in the gossip-ridden mill town of Shirley Falls'a location fans of Strout will recognize from her critically acclaimed novel, The Burgess Boys'only increases the tension. And just when it appears things can't get any worse, Amy's sexuality begins to unfold, causing a vast and icy rift between mother and daughter that will remain unbridgeable unless Isabelle examines her own secretive and shameful past.
A Reader's Guide is included in the paperback edition of this powerful first novel by the author who brought Olive Kitteridge to millions of readers. - Random House, Inc.
