Women's Fiction
Sylvia Sandon always swore she wouldn’t become her mother.
But one August morning she finds herself walking the same
path as the fervently religious yet faithless Elaine…into an
affair she feels powerless to resist.
Against the backdrop of California brush fires in the
’70s, twelve year-old Sylvia had agreed to hold a secret
that would devour her family’s dream of happiness. Now
struggling to create a better life in small-town New
England, Sylvia nonetheless feels caught in the coils of
history: she confronts the embers of her dying marriage, the
all-consuming needs of her two daughters and her faltering
artistic career. Then Tai Rosen—the father of a student—
ignites an unexpected passion and a familiar betrayal that
could illuminate the past, even as it jeopardizes everything
dear.
Outside the Ordinary World reveals what
lies beneath the surface of infidelity. But at its
heart, it is the story of the powerful, sometimes disturbing
bond between mothers and daughters, and the shimmering line
between self-revelation and self-destruction.
