Product Details
Overview
A subversive debut novel about care and codependency in the borderland between friendship and romantic love.
What does it mean to love a friend? To twentysomething teacher Leah Barlowe, , it means proposing marriage to her best friend Naomi, a dedicated modern dancer who suffers from chronic pain, as a way to secure Naomi’s health insurance—no matter how Leah’s girlfriend Gwen feels. Yet as Leah and Naomi plan their wedding, the weight of Leah’s increasing obligations to those she loves—as well as the intensifying pressure Naomi’s dance company places on her to excel while concealing her illness—press against their own deferred truths and differing visions of love, forcing each woman to consider where self ends and those they care for begin.
For fans of Two Women Living Together and My Brilliant Friend, Mary Retta’s energetic debut novel is an elegy for complicated friendships and a meditation on what it means to live a passionate life.
