β¦ Synopsis
When Roz Rosenzweig meets Edwin Anderson fumbling for keys on the stoop of a Manhattan walk-up, the last thing on her mind is falling for a polite Nebraskanβyet fall for him she does. So begins Thisbe Nissenβs breathtaking debut novel, a decidedly urban fairy tale that follows Roz and Edwin as they move from improbable courtship to marriage to the birth of daughter Mirandaβthe locus of all Rozβs attention, anxiety, and often smothering affection.
As Miranda comes of age and begins to chafe against the intensity of her motherβs neurotic love, Roz must do her best to let those she cherishes move into the world without her. On crowded subways, in strange bedrooms, at Bar Mitzvahs, in brownstone basements and high school gymnasiums, Nissenβs unforgettable characters make their hilarious and wrenching wayβand prove, indeed, that good things thrive in New York City.
