Women's Fiction
The adult debut from bestselling, award-winning Jaclyn
Moriarty—a frequently hilarious, brilliantly observed novel
in the spirit of Maria Semple, Rainbow Rowell, and Gail
Honeyman—that follows a single mother's heartfelt search
for greater truths about the universe, her family, and
herself.
Twenty years ago, Abigail Sorenson's
brother Robert went missing one day before her sixteenth
birthday, never to be seen again. That same year, she began
receiving scattered chapters in the mail of a self-help
manual, the Guidebook, whose anonymous author promised to
make her life soar to heights beyond her wildest
dreams.
The Guidebook's missives have remained a
constant in Abi's life—a befuddling yet oddly comforting
voice through her family's grief over her brother's
disappearance, a move across continents, the devastating
dissolution of her marriage, and the new beginning as a
single mother and café owner in Sydney.
Now, two
decades after receiving those first pages, Abi is invited to
an all-expenses paid weekend retreat to learn "the truth"
about the Guidebook. It's an opportunity too intriguing to
refuse. If Everything is Connected, then surely the twin
mysteries of the Guidebook and a missing brother must be
linked?
What follows is completely the opposite of
what Abi expected––but it will lead her on a journey of
discovery that will change her life––and enchant readers.
Gravity Is the Thing is a smart, unusual, wickedly
funny novel about the search for happiness that will break
your heart into a million pieces and put it back together,
bigger and better than before.
