Description:
Like Mary Gaitskill and Mary Gordon, Joanna Torrey writes from a dark, often edgy place. She has a unique vision of what lies beneath the surface of our lives, the conflicting emotions that confuse and inspire us, the ever-shifting boundaries between what is right and acceptable and what is wrong and inappropriate.
Expand description
He Goes, She Goes is a tightly written family drama about Alice, whose father is dying. Emotionally distant from his children all their lives, he is affecting Alice in death in ways she never thought possible -- not least because she realizes that her mother will be happier without him. When Alice sinks into depression, the only thing that helps are her dance lessons with Carlos. But her growing obsession with dance begins to consume her life. Will she grow as distant from her mother and sister as her father ever was, or manage to find the hope and happiness in the last place she thought to look -- at home with her family?
