Women's Fiction
In her highly acclaimed first novel, Anywhere But Here,
Simpson created one of the most astute yet vulnerable
heroines in contemporary fiction. Now Mayan Atassi--once
Mayan Stevenson--returns in an immensely powerful novel
about love and lovelessness, fathers and fatherlessness,
and the loyalties that shape us even when they threaten to
destroy us. Now a woman of twenty-eight and finally on her own in
medical school, Mayan becomes obsessed with the father she
never knew, leading her to hire detectives to dredge up the
past, thus eroding her savings, ruining her career, and
flirting with madness in a search spanning two continents. "Ratifies the achievement of Anywhere But Here, attesting
to its author's...dazzling literary gift and uncommon
emotional wisdom."
--New York Times "A breathtaking piece of fiction; Simpson is a writer who
can break our heart and mend it in the same sentence."
--Cleveland Plain Dealer
