Intertwining stories bring together three women and the heaviness of choice. In a small prairie town where the landscape is both beautiful and isolating, we meet an artist, a caregiver, and a dying woman, each bonded by their parallel struggles with fulfillment and the inconsistencies of human connection.
Confined to monotony and caring for her mother, Sally enlists the curative elements of her art to ease a growing sense of guilt. An elderly Mary, meanwhile, grapples with a loss of independence and the ghosts of meaningful conversations. Her unmarried caregiver, Beth, reconciles the emptiness of a home without children with the possibilities ahead of her, and a renewed connection with Sally.
A poignant and emotional narrative imbued with such volatile topics as illness, mortality, and the quiet sadnesses that threaten to consume us, Dropseed: The Story of Three Sad Women is a vulnerable and brave look at womanhood.
For fans of Margaret Laurence, or Sue Monk Kidd's The Secret Life of Bees, Dropseed is an emotional journey that explores the complexities of womanhood and the power of redemption. Don't miss out on this powerful and thought-provoking novel.
