This Month's Featured Guide:
by Caroline Adderson
It
only takes a moment for your life to be changed forever—as the characters
of this darkly comic novel discover early on. The fateful moment for the
newlyweds Ross and Iliana comes with the freak automobile accident that
leaves Iliana paralyzed, Ross grief-stricken, and both of them struggling
to come to terms with a married life nothing like they originally had
in mind. Sitting Practice is a clever and insightful study of
love’s collision with harsh reality, told by an author with a remarkable
instinct for the workings of human nature, a nimble gift for language,
and the ability to find humor in the oddest places.
