A bittersweet tale of love and longing from the bestselling
author of Last Night at the Lobster.
Once again making the ordinary and overlooked not merely
visible but vital to understanding our own lives, Stewart
O'Nan confirms his position as an American master with
Emily, Alone. A sequel to the bestselling, much-beloved Wish
You Were Here, O'Nan's intimate novel follows Emily Maxwell,
a widow whose grown children have long departed. She dreams
of visits from her grandchildren while mourning the turnover
of her quiet Pittsburgh neighborhood. When her sister-in-law
and sole companion, Arlene, faints at their favorite
breakfast buffet, Emily's life changes in unexpected ways.
As she grapples with her new independence, she discovers a
hidden strength and realizes that life always offers new
possibilities.
