The Golden State: A Novel Pdf
LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION’S FIRST NOVEL PRIZE. An Amazon Best Book of the Month and one of Buzzfeed’s and Nylon’s Best Books of Fall.?A love story for our fractured era.? ?Karen Russell, author of Vampires in the Lemon Grove and Swamplandia!A gorgeous, raw debut novel about a young woman braving the ups and downs of motherhood in a fractured AmericaIn Lydia Kiesling?s razor-sharp debut novel, The Golden State, we accompany Daphne, a young mother on the edge of a breakdown, as she flees her sensible but strained life in San Francisco for the high desert of Altavista with her toddler, Honey. Bucking under the weight of being a single parent?her Turkish husband is unable to return to the United States because of a ?processing error??Daphne takes refuge in a mobile home left to her by her grandparents in hopes that the quiet will bring clarity. But clarity proves elusive. Over the next ten days Daphne is anxious, she behaves a little erratically, she drinks too much. She wanders the town looking for anyone and anything to punctuate the long hours alone with the baby. Among others, she meets Cindy, a neighbor who is active in a secessionist movement, and befriends the elderly Alice, who has traveled to Altavista as she approaches the end of her life. When her relationships with these women culminate in a dangerous standoff, Daphne must reconcile her inner narrative with the reality of a deeply divided world. Keenly observed, bristling with humor, and set against the beauty of a little-known part of California, The Golden State is about class and cultural breakdowns, and desperate attempts to bridge old and new worlds. But more than anything, it is about motherhood: its voracious worry, frequent tedium, and enthralling, wondrous love.
