A fiction collection, including two new stories, from the
award-winning author: “Rhoda is a fully realized creation. And not
one to be dismissed lightly.”—Entertainment Weekly From Ellen
Gilchrist, a National Book Award winner and “national treasure”
(The Washington Post), this volume includes twenty-three stories
starring Rhoda Manning—“the shining manifestation of
Gilchrist’s wry, intelligent, and passionate writing” (Kirkus
Review). Follow Rhoda from age eight to age sixty, as she grows
from a hot-tempered, impetuous child to a complex, confident adult.
Even at a young age, Rhoda loves to get her way, boasting a unique
spark that only shines brighter in an adulthood full of sex and
excitement. From diet pills to multiple marriages to far-reaching
travels and a writing career, Rhoda’s relentless hunger for
adventure will delight all who accompany her on her journeys.
“A winner…Rhoda is as real as anyone who has ever ‘lived’ in a
book.”—Library Journal “Rhoda loves to shop, swear and get
her own way; she has always been a vivid and indelible
character.”—Publishers Weekly “One of the most engaging and
surprisingly lovable characters in modern fiction.”—Robert Olen
