Wayward by Dana Spiotta


I was not familiar with this author, but found she has several well-reviewed books out there and has been nominated for some pretty impressive awards.

From Slate:

Wayward is about rescuing your life from the mess you’ve made of it so far, while your body goes haywire.

I enjoyed this book. I read it in a few days. This quote from the NYTimes book review says a lot about the book:

We accompany Sam through her sleepless nights, in her newfound solitude as she restores a majestically crumbling house in another part of town. She sends plaintive text messages to her daughter, calls her mother. She eats a piece of cake. Her mind churns, she scrolls the internet, she listens to the storm of her body.
