"Spinning at the Edges is, simply, a marvel."--Edward P. Jones, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Known World
From the author of the acclaimed As Close to Us as Breathing, a captivating novel steeped in history, revealing the bonds of family and community, and the healing powers hidden inside broken hearts.
For much of her adult life Ruth Pearl has lived in the small New England town of Wells, Connecticut, on the shore of Lake Topaqua. Decades back, when she was fourteen, she and her parents fled German-occupied Amsterdam after the murder of her beloved older sister Sophia, and in the wake of such loss, Ruth has long taken comfort in the natural beauty of her lake view.
But in the winter of 2000, Ruth's neighbor builds an addition to his home that blocks Ruth's view, a disruption of her peace that sparks fear that her tumultuous past is happening again.
One day, seeking solace, Ruth heads out for a cathartic skate on the lake only to spot a boy in the distance falling through the ice. Also witnessing this event is Judge Arthur Cantrell, by chance in Wells that day to avoid the consequences of a failed romance.
Together, Ruth and Arthur save Ian Lima, a despairing sixteen-year-old, and over the days to come, as Ruth and Arthur help Ian heal, they find themselves healing too. Soon enough, this turn of events begins to impact Ruth's daughter, Ian's mother, and even Arthur's love interest.
In Spinning at the Edges, Elizabeth Poliner, a masterful storyteller, seamlessly interweaves the lives of a rich cast of characters living in two historical time periods--America 2000, marked by a controversial presidential election, and Netherlands 1941, marked by rising fascism--to tell an unforgettable story about how the past haunts the present, how sharing pain heals, and how love--and even democracy--are fragile concepts in a changing, spinning world.
