Things You Should Know

"Eleven sharply original portraits of domestic life: the distance between family members, the minor wars between friends and lovers" (Publishers Weekly).

In this stunningly original collection, A. M. Homes writes with terrifying compassion about the things that matter most. Homes's distinctive narrative illuminates our dreams and desires, our memories and losses, and demonstrates how extraordinary the ordinary can be. With uncanny emotional accuracy, wit, and empathy, Homes takes us places we recognize but would rather not go alone.
