商品簡介
A slyly funny debut novel about a young woman fumbling her way into adulthood as she attempts to unravel the truth of her mother's legacy.
At 22, Olivia is looking for a fresh start, throwing herself headlong into the frenzied and glamorous New York City media world. But this new life represents something more vital for Olivia than it does for the countless other young people scrapping for their place among the Manhattan elite. As she fends off the barbed comments of demeaning bosses and the attentions of lewd older men, Olivia is still reeling from the loss of her mother.
Just four months have passed since her mother's death, and everyone else in Olivia's family seems ready to move on. Her brothers are settled comfortably in careers and families of their own; her father has already started to date again, inviting a woman named June on a family trip. But as Olivia tries to piece together an adulthood without her mother to guide her, she makes a shocking discovery: a secret romantic correspondence her mother had with a man who only signed his letters “F.”
To solve the mystery of F, Olivia will journey halfway across the world, to an ashram in rural India, on a quest that will reconfigure everything she thought she knew about her family and her own place in the world.
A profoundly moving and keenly observed contemplation of the debts we owe to the past and the ways we discover our futures, Alternative Remedies for Loss is the rare sort of book that can break and mend your heart in a single and unforgettable read.
