The 15 loosely connected stories in Beattie's latest collection, set on Maine's southern coast, feature drifting adults and their rootless offspring at seemingly unimportant moments that are in fact critical. The collection demonstrates Beattie's craftsmanship, precise language, and her knack for revealing psychological truths.
