NAMED A BEST BOOK of the YEAR by O, THE OPRAH MAGAZINE, REFINERY 29, and KIRKUS REVIEWSSHORTLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZEMiranda July meets Mary Karr in this brilliant debut novel from Jen Beagin, Whiting Award winner and one of the freshest voices I've read in yearsfunny, wise, whipsmart and compassionate (Jami Attenberg, author of The Middlesteins), about a cleaning lady on a quest for selfacceptance after her relationship with a loveable junkie goes awry.Jen Beagins quirky, moving, frank and unflinching (Josh Ferris) debut novel introduces an unforgettable character, Monaalmost twentyfour, emotionally adrift, and cleaning houses to get by. Handing out clean needles to drug addicts, she falls for a recipient she calls Mr. Disgusting, who proceeds to break her heart in unimaginable ways.In search of healing, Mona decamps to Taos, New Mexico, for a fresh start, where she finds a community of seekers and castoffs, all of whom have one or two things to teach herthe pajamawearing, blissedout New Agers, the slightly creepy client with peculiar tastes in controlled substances, the psychic who might really be psychic. But always lurking just beneath the surface are her memories of growing up in a chaotic, destructive family from which shes trying to disentangle herself, and the larger legacy of the past she left behind.The story of Monas journey to find her place in this workingclass American world is at once hilarious and wonderfully strange, true to life and boldly human, and introduces a stunningly oneofakind new voice in American fiction.
