"Heartbreaking and hilarious. Every character in this novel resonates with life."-Southern Living Childhood singing stars Kit and Kiki Smithers are all grown up, young mothers navigating the joys and frustrations of suburban life. When Kiki's marriage unravels and Kit's small world is shattered by a singular act of sexual violence, the two sisters call on memories of an old story their mother used to tell: a tale of goddesses, monsters, and a series of seemingly impossible tasks whereby a girl, betrayed and broken, finds her way out of the underworld into the light. The myth of Psyche and Eros takes on new meaning in this modern retelling, poetically tapping into the tornadic forces of feminism, resilience, independence, and art. Sugarland, an international bestseller shortlisted for multiple awards, is a graceful novel filled with compassion, as relevant today as it was when book clubs throughout the United States and Europe first embraced it more than twenty years ago.
