Fiction
A wry novel of suburban life unraveled from the author of
Dear Zoe
Like Tom Perrotta and Nick
Hornby, Philip Beard writes insightfully, movingly, and with
the lightest touch about the messiness of life. Michael
Benedict, overprivileged but undermotivated, seems to have
it all: a beautiful wife, two lovely daughters, a law
practice, and a natural golf swing. But when his wife
announces she's unexpectedly pregnant with their third
child, Michael's underwhelming response disturbs the fault
lines of both his marriage and his psyche. Seeking solace,
Michael turns to his golf game and a kind of sex that isn't
exactly extramarital. A deft tightrope walk between
heartbreak and hilarity, Lost in the Garden is a
novel for anyone who's ever felt life was a work in progress.
