Destination: Take a trip to Suburbia
Week of August 24: A Window Opens by Liz Egan
From the beloved books editor at Glamour magazine comes a heartfelt and painfully funny debut about what happens when a wife and mother of three leaps at the chance to fulfill her professional destiny—only to learn every opportunity comes at a price. When her husband makes a radical career change, she lands a job at a hip young start up. The Holy Grail of working mothers—an intellectually satisfying job and a happy personal life—seems suddenly within reach. Despite the disapproval of her best friend, who owns the local bookstore, Alice is proud of her new “balancing act” (which is more like a three-ring circus) until her dad gets sick, her marriage flounders, her babysitter gets fed up, her kids start to grow up, and her work takes an unexpected turn.
Elisabeth Egan is the books editor at Glamour. Her essays and book reviews have appeared in Self, Glamour, O, People, Publisher’s Weekly, Kirkus, Huffington Post The New York Times Book Review, LA Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Chicago Sun- Times, and the Newark Star-Ledger. She lives in New Jersey with her family.
