American Housewife: Stories - Paperback

by Helen Ellis (Author)

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A raucous, whip-smart collection of stories featuring retro-feminist ladies who lunch." --Elle

Meet the women of American Housewife. They wear lipstick, pearls, and sunscreen, even when it's cloudy. They casserole. They pinwheel. And then they kill a party crasher, carefully stepping around the body to pull cookies from the oven.

Taking us from a haunted pre-war Manhattan apartment building to the unique initiation ritual of a book club, these twelve delightfully demented stories are a refreshing and wicked answer to the question: "What do housewives do all day?"
