Contemporary Women's Fiction
A love letter to classic literature and an
illuminating look at newfound adulthood Ava Gallanter is the librarian in residence at the Lazarus
Club, an ancient, dwindling Manhattan arts club full of
eccentric geriatric residents stuck in a long-gone era.
Twenty-five-year-old Ava, however, feels right at home. She
leads a quiet life, surrounded by her beloved books and
sequestered away from her peers. When Ava’s enigmatic friend Stephanie returns after an
unplanned year abroad, the intoxicating opportunist vows to
rescue Ava from a life of obscurity. Stephanie, on the hunt
for fame and fortune, promises to make Ava’s dream of
becoming a writer come true, and together they start a
Victorian-inspired literary salon at the Lazarus Club.
However, Ava’s romanticized idea of the salon quickly erodes
as Stephanie’s ambitions take the women in an unexpected—and
precarious—direction. In this humorous yet keenly observant coming-of-age story,
Cohen brings us into a boisterous literary world bathed in
hubris and ambition. With eloquent prose and affecting
storytelling, The Little Clan is both a wickedly fun yet
sharply insightful look at friendship, feminism and finding
yourself in your twenties.
