Tricia is a shy newlywed, married to a rising attorney on loan to navy intelligence. Charlene is a practiced corporate spouse and mother of three, a beauty and a bully. In Saigon in 1963, the two women form a wary alliance as they balance the era’s mandate to be “helpmeets” to their ambitious husbands with their own, inchoate impulse to “do good” for the people of Vietnam.

Romance can be a little complicated when you get sucked into a wormhole. Just ask high school English teacher June Flint. One little solar flare happens and suddenly you find yourself 85 years in the future. Eighty-five years from your dream job. Your ailing mother whose only companion in this world is you. Your favorite stuffed-crust pizza from DeLucia’s on Sunday nights. But when June’s cell phone inexplicably picks up a signal, she’s able to call back to the present—more specifically, four weeks before she accidentally time traveled.

Deeply acquainted with the workings of the hives, Albert is less versed in the ways of people, especially his friend Claire, whose presence and absence in his life have never been reconciled. When Claire is killed in a seemingly senseless accident during a burglary gone wrong, Albert is haunted by the loss and by the secrets and silence that hovered between them for so long. As he pieces together the memories of their shared history, he will come to learn the painful truths about Claire's life.

Inside, Martha finds a dedication written by her best friend—her grandmother Zelda—who died under mysterious circumstances years ago. When Martha discovers a clue within the book that her grandmother may still be alive, she becomes determined to discover the truth.

But now things are splintering apart, for one reason, it seems: Edie's enormous girth.

With pitch-perfect prose, huge compassion, and sly humor, Jami Attenberg has given us an epic story of marriage, family, and obsession.

Loved The Story; Loved The Narrator
What a tale! Mimi’s life is inspiring and compelling. And the book is set in such an important era of NYC history. The author does a great job of weaving in a realistic, and at times not pretty history of NYC very naturally into Mimi’s story. I was gripped by the tale and managed to add details to my knowledge of New York City history without feeling like I was getting history lesson. Simpson crafts believable characters who let me react to them with so many different emotions. The narrator did a great job, and I enjoyed her cadence and tone.

An amazing story weaving the lives of the rich, the poor, the despondent, the joyful and the talented in a tapestry of fiction. Wait for the ending!
