By turns revealing, hilarious, dishy, and razorsharp, Impersonation lives in that rarest of sweet spots: the propulsive pageturner for people with high literary standards. Rebecca Makkai, author of The Great BelieversAllie Lang is a professional ghostwriter and a perpetually broke single mother to a young boy. Years of navigating her own and Americas cultural definitions of motherhood have left her a lapsed idealist. Lana Breban is a powerhouse lawyer, economist, and advocate for womens rights with designs on elected office. She also has a son. Lana and her staff have decided she needs help softening her public image and that a memoir about her life as a mother will help.When Allie lands the job as Lanas ghostwriter, it seems as if things will finally go Allies way. At last, she thinks, there will be enough money not just to pay her bills but to actually buy a house. After years of working as a ghostwriter for other celebrities, Allie believes she knows the drill: she has learned how to inhabit the lives of others and tell their stories better than they can.But this time, everything becomes more complicated. Allies childcare arrangements unravel; she falls behind on her rent; her subject, Lana, is better at critiquing than actually providing material; and Allies boyfriend decides to go on a road trip toward selfdiscovery. But as a writer for hire, Allie has gotten too used to being accommodating. At what point will she speak up for all that she deserves?A satirical, incisive snapshot of how so many of us now live, Impersonation tells a timely, insightful, and bitingly funny story of ambition, motherhood, and class.
