The Gin Closet
This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Gin Closet
By Leslie Jamison
Publication Date: February 16
From Publishers Weekly:
Jamison's beautifully written debut follows independent young New Yorker Stella and her estranged aunt Tilly as they form some version of a family. Stella is disenchanted with her life and job as a journalist's personal assistant; Tilly is a professional lost soul, a former prostitute, and an unsuccessful recovering alcoholic. To all appearances, Stella is the savior, finding Tilly, who's been shunned by the family, to rescue her; but through alternating first-person accounts, the reader grows to view the two women as equals. The relationship between Stella and Tilly is compelling, as are their relationships with auxiliary characters, but what truly drives the novel is Jamison's gorgeous prose.
