Through the eyes of her mother, Anna--an ornithologist who speaks five languages--their small lakeside town in Vermont becomes a glittering mystery filled with secret tongues, monsters in the lake, and birthday parties for the Earth. Anna's untamed spirit stands in sharp contrast to that of Grace's father, a chemistry teacher who examines his surroundings through the lens of rationalism and order. As Grace's family begins to fall apart and she finds that she must choose between her parents, her conflicting loyalties take her on a remarkable journey that spans all corners of the country--and of her own boundless imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJenny Offill is the author of two novels, \u003ci\u003eDept. of Speculation, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich was chosen as one of the ten best books of the year by\u003ci\u003e The New York Times, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eLast Things\u003c\/i\u003e, which was a\u003ci\u003e New York Times Notable Book \u003c\/i\u003eand a finalist for the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times \u003c\/i\u003eFirst Book Award.
