Torn from her normal routinescoffee, sex, barhopping, and disc golfshe finds herself in an unfamiliar world of hospital visits and doctor's appointments, all while navigating an unexpected move to a new apartment and enduring the disapproval of her boyfriend's mother, as well as the gossip of her friends and coworkers. (Plus the suspicious looks of strangers, and the unbearable strain on her credit card...and did we mention the gossip of her friends and coworkers?) Along the way, she meets every obstacle with...well, not grace, exactly. In fact, pretty much the opposite of grace. Maybe more like bitchiness, truth be told. And all the while, the aftereffects of the tragedy cast a pall over everything she doesand threaten to destroy everything she has. Bristol Vaudrin's fascinating debut novel is an engrossing and darkly comedic read with an unforgettable narrator/protagonist. Watching her strugglesreal, imagined, and in-betweenwe too must choose between kindness and judgment, between condescension towards someone who simply doesn't have a clue, and empathy with a person struggling to deal with something we all must face: the desire to hold on to the things we enjoy when the world around us changes in ways we didn't expect.

Autorenporträt

Bristol was born in Alaska, and named after Bristol Bay, where her parents fished commercially. Later, she was raised in South Central Alaska, splitting time between her family's off-the-grid homestead at Flat Horn Lake, and attending school in Anchorage. She now lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, dog, and way too many books.
