The novel offers a kaleidoscopic vision of Simone's fractured life and piecemeal understanding of self across multiple points of view. Following her from Cambridge to New York City and across the United States--through a disastrous marriage, thwarted desire, and the purgatory of academic backwaters--the novel charts Simone's unexpected reconnection with her past, which provides both autonomy and inspiration for her future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the vein of Elizabeth Strout's \u003ci\u003eOlive Kitteridge\u003c\/i\u003e, Janet Burroway slowly reveals a multifaceted, fascinating protagonist, who observes her own life without always allowing herself to be immersed in it. Spanning seven decades, this story is both epic and contained, rewarding readers at every turn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Burroway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299353842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299353841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Janet Burroway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825955131647,"sku":"9780299353841","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_965595c8-6eb8-47e2-b51c-b80d48c7d7d2.jpg?v=1746074130","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/simone-in-pieces-janet-burroway-9780299353841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
