Fiction
Celebrated for her irresistibly witty, strikingly
intelligent examinations of friendship and marriage, Lauren
Fox (“An immensely gifted writer—a writer adept at capturing
the sad-funny mess that happens to be one woman’s life”
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times) has written her most
powerful novel to date. Days of Awe is the story of a woman
who, in the wake of her best friend’s sudden death, must
face the crisis in her marriage, the fury of her
almost-teenage daughter, and the possibility of opening her
cantankerous heart to someone new. Only a year ago Isabel Moore was married, was the object of
adoration for her ten-year-old daughter, and thought she
knew everything about her wild, extravagant, beloved best
friend, Josie. But in that one short year her husband moved
out and rented his own apartment; her daughter grew into a
moody insomniac; and Josie—impulsive, funny, secretive
Josie—was killed behind the wheel in a single-car accident.
As the relationships that long defined Isabel—wife, mother,
daughter, best friend—change before her eyes, Isabel must
try to understand who she really is. Teeming with longing,
grief, and occasional moments of wild, unexpected joy, Days
of Awe is a daring, dazzling book—a luminous exploration of
marriage, motherhood, and the often surprising shape of new
love.
