Item Description
A package of five hardcover books by A.M. Homes (THIS BOOK WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE, MUSIC FOR TORCHING, MAY WE BE FORGIVEN, THE SAFETY OF OBJECTS, and MISTRESSES' DAUGHTER) all signed by the author.
"Homes has spent the last 30 years chronicling the surreal undercurrents of everyday life, the darkness behind closed doors, the absurdity beneath the perky, affluent, suburban version of the American dream. What she's interested in, she says, is 'the gap between who people are publicly and privately ... What I'm doing, which sometimes makes people uncomfortable, is saying the things we don't want to say out loud.'" -The Guardian
-This Book Will Save Your Life is a vivid, uplifting, and revealing story about compassion, transformation, and what can happen if you are willing to lose yourself and open up to the world around you.
-May We Be Forgiven is the Winner of the 2013 Women's Prize for Fiction. It is a darkly comic novel of twenty-first-century domestic life and the possibility of personal transformation.
-Music for Torching is a 1999 novel by American writer A. M. Homes. It is about a dysfunctional suburban family in the contemporary United States. The book deals with issues including sex, infidelity, social consciousness, and school violence. It is one of Homes' most critically acclaimed books to that date.
-Safety of Objects is a collection of short stories. Brilliantly conceived, sharply etched, and exceptionally satisfying, these stories explore the American dream in ways you're not likely soon to forget.
-The Mistress's Daughter is the ruthlessly honest account of A.M. Holmes's personal story. Daring, heartbreaking, and startlingly funny, Homes's memoir is a brave and profoundly moving consideration of identity and family.
