Maggie and her mother, Iris, weren't close, especially since Maggie came out, but she never thought they would run out of time to figure each other out. Now in her late twenties, Maggie is finally in something resembling a serious relationship, wondering if some of whatever shaped her parents' decades-long love story might exist after all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Overwhelmed by her grief and frustrated with her family, Maggie decides to escape the shiva and hand-deliver her mother's letters. The ensuing road trip takes her over miles of California highways, through strangers' recollections of a second, hidden life (that seems almost impossible to reconcile with the Iris she knew), and a journey through her own fears as she navigates her new relationship. As she fills in the details of Iris's story, Maggie must confront the possibility that almost everything she knew about her mother -- her marriage, her lukewarm relationship to Judaism, her disapproval of her daughter's queerness -- is more meaningful than she ever allowed herself to imagine.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIlana Masad is a fiction writer, essayist, and book critic whose work has appeared in\u003ci\u003e The New York Times, Los Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eParis Review, \u003c\/i\u003eNPR\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eBuzzFeed\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eCatapult\u003ci\u003e, StoryQuarterly, McSweeney's Internet Tendency\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as several others. \u003ci\u003eAll My Mother's Lovers \u003c\/i\u003eis Masad's debut novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.1 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768356372768,"sku":"9781524745981","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7db4213fcef3353c698768726f1850a1.webp?v=1780327780","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/all-my-mothers-lovers-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
