When we first meet Mim, a recent college graduate in NYC, she has disavowed her working-class roots, befriending Kyra, a dancer and daughter of privilege, until calamity causes their estrangement. Twenty years later, Kyra has gone missing abroad, and Mim--now a recluse in rural New England--embarks on a mid-life journey to find her. Anchored by an uninvited voyage into an extraordinary place, with female friendship at its core, "Blue Hours" combines the moral complexity and surprise of Lillian Hellman's Julia and Ann Patchett's State of Wonder--Daphne Kalotay has crafted an unconventional tale about venturing beyond borders and of citizens persisting amid protracted war. In its ethical provocations, Blue Hours is timely and resonant, confronting the dissonance of America's role in the conflicted, interconnected world"--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a The island -- The desert -- The world -- Author's note. 650 0 $a Female friendship $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103512 650 0 $a Non-governmental organizations $z Afghanistan $x Employees $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Female friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922609 650 7 $a Non-governmental organizations $x Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01038529 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008108377 651 7 $a Afghanistan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205406 651 7 $a New York (State) $z New York. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204333 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2015026020 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213012351.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA12BF7C1D7611EA83B92C1397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
