Fiction
Celebrated for her irresistibly witty, strikingly intelligent examinations of friendship and marriage, Lauren Fox (βAn immensely gifted writerβa writer adept at capturing the sad-funny mess that happens to be one womanβs lifeβ βMichiko Kakutani, The New York Times) has written her most powerful novel to date. Days of Awe is the story of a woman who, in the wake of her best friendβs sudden death, must face the crisis in her marriage, the fury of her almost-teenage daughter, and the possibility of opening her cantankerous heart to someone new. Only a year ago Isabel Moore was married, was the object of adoration for her ten-year-old daughter, and thought she knew everything about her wild, extravagant, beloved best friend, Josie. But in that one short year her husband moved out and rented his own apartment; her daughter grew into a moody insomniac; and Josieβimpulsive, funny, secretive Josieβwas killed behind the wheel in a single-car accident. As the relationships that long defined Isabelβwife, mother, daughter, best friendβchange before her eyes, Isabel must try to understand who she really is. Teeming with longing, grief, and occasional moments of wild, unexpected joy, Days of Awe is a daring, dazzling bookβa luminous exploration of marriage, motherhood, and the often surprising shape of new love.
