Fiction
Hailed by The New York Times as “a natural-born
storyteller,” the acclaimed author of Rules of the
Wild gives us nine incandescently smart stories, funny,
elegant, and poignant by turns, that explore the power of
change—in relationships, in geographies, and across
cultures—to reveal unexpected aspects of
ourselves.
Taking us to Venice during film
festival season, where a woman buys a Chanel dress she can
barely afford; to a sun-drenched Greek village at the height
of the summer holidays, where a teenager encounters the
shocks of first love; and to a classical dance
community in southern India, where a couple gives in to the
urge to wander, these remarkable tales bring to life
characters stepping outside their boundaries into new
passions and destinies. Enlivened by Francesca Marciano’s
wit, clear eye, and stunning evocations of people and
places, The Other Language is an enthralling tour de
force rich with many pleasures.
