Cline is an astonishingly gifted stylist. . . . These stories vibrate with life."--u003ciu003eThe New York Times Book Reviewu003c/iu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003e u003cbu003eu003cbru003e NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY u003ciu003eENTERTAINMENT WEEKLYu003c/iu003eu003c/bu003e An absentee father collects his son from boarding school after a shocking act of violence. A nanny to a celebrity family hides out in Laurel Canyon in the aftermath of a tabloid scandal. A young woman sells her underwear to strangers. A notorious guest arrives at a placid, not-quite rehab in the Southwest. In ten remarkable stories, Emma Cline portrays moments when the ordinary is disturbed, when daily life buckles, revealing the perversity and violence pulsing under the surface. She explores characters navigating the edge, the limits of themselves and those around them: power dynamics in families, in relationships, the distance between their true and false selves. They want connection, but what they provoke is often closer to self-sabotage. What are the costs of one's choices? Of the moments when we act, or fail to act? These complexities are at the heart of u003ciu003eDaddyu003c/iu003e, Emma Cline's sharp-eyed illumination of the contrary impulses that animate our inner lives.
