Fiction Family Life
A fresh, funny, and wisely observed debut novel about
marriage—about the love, longing and ambivalence exposed
when a husband takes the baby on a highly unusual outing When Veronica Reed wakes up one frigid January morning, two
things are “off”—first of all, she has had a good night’s
sleep, which hasn’t happened in months, and second, both her
husband and her baby are gone. Grateful for the much-needed
rest, Veronica doesn’t, at first, seriously question her
husband’s trip out to breakfast with baby Clara. Little does
she know, her spouse has fled lower Manhattan, with Clara,
for some R&R in the Caribbean. Told through alternating points of view, The Sunshine When
She's Gone explores the life-changing impact of parenthood
on a couple as individuals and as partners. Thea Goodman
brings us into intimacies made tense by sleep-deprivation
and to losses and gains made more real by acknowledging
them. Here is the story of a couple pushed to the edge and a
desperate father’s attempt give them both space to breathe.
