Dazzling. --The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice
Richly satisfying. --The Wall Street Journal
These are stories you want to live in...a collection perfectly suited for our moment. --Booklist (starred review) A collection of stories so beautifully crafted they feel like tiny worlds unto themselves (Los Angeles Times) about women experiencing all life's beauty and challenges, from award-winning writer Megan Mayhew Bergman. A recently separated woman fills a huge terrarium with rare flowers to establish control over a small world and attempt to heal her broken heart. A competitive swimmer negotiates over which days she will fulfill her wifely duties, and which days she will keep for herself. A peach farmer wonders if her orchard will survive a drought. And generations of a family in South Carolina struggle with fidelity and their cruel past, some clinging to old ways and others painfully carving new paths. In this closely observed (The New Yorker) collection, Megan Mayhew Bergman portrays women who wrestle with problematic inheritances: a modern glass house on a treacherous California cliff, a water-starved ranch, and an abandoned plantation on a river near Charleston. Bergman's stories are so emotionally rich that they serve as portals into distinct interior worlds...this collection is distinct and vivid...As singular as it is atmospheric (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
