Yes, she's keeping secrets from her husband. Sure, she quit her PhD program and is now conducting unauthorized research on illegitimately procured mice. And, true, her mother is dead, and Eleanor has yet to go through her things. But what else is she supposed to do? What shape can grief take when you didn't understand the person you've lost? Resisting at every turn, Eleanor tumbles blindly down a path toward confronting her present. As Eleanor's avoidance of her feelings results in a series of outrageous - often hilarious - choices, her actions begin to threaten all she holds most dear. Meanwhile, glimpses of Eleanor's childhood and family history in Taiwan unfurl, revealing long-held secrets, and Eleanor starts to realize that she will never be able to escape her grief, or her family, despite her wildest attempts. But will she be brave enough to withstand the reckoning she's hurtling toward? At once disarmingly provocative and compulsively readable, a Quitter's Paradise is an unexpectedly funny study of the beauty and contradictions of grief, family bonds, and self-knowledge, exploring the ways wwe unwittingly guard the secrets of our loved ones, even from ourselves." -- $c from the dust jacket flap. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Family secrets $v Fiction. 941 $a 11 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20240514011311.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409044756.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125012615.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20231206014456.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20230912013610.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20230912012445.0 952 $l CWPB586 $d 20230822010226.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230808011348.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230701010119.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230621011148.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230603010558.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6D87E3801D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
