A Big Storm Knocked It Over -- Laurie Colwin

<p><strong>"Laurie Colwin's beautiful final book, <em>A Big Storm Knocked It Over</em>, is funny and moving and rich with complicated happiness--a love story for anyone who tends to overthink things, a comic novel about trying to find a place in the world." -- Maile Meloy, author of <em>Both Ways Is the Only Way I Want It</em></strong></p><p><strong>In her fifth and final novel, acclaimed author Laurie Colwin explores marriage and friendship, motherhood and careers, as experienced by a cast of delightfully idiosyncratic Manhattanites. At once a hilarious social commentary and an insightful, sophisticated modern romance, <em>A Big Storm Knocked It Over</em> stands as a living tribute to one of contemporary fiction's most original and beloved voices.</strong></p><p>In her late thirties, Jane Louise Parker has just married a man whose native decency leaves her almost breathless at her good fortune. After the wedding, she returns to work at a small and tony publishing house whose finances are in disarray. Alongside her best friend, Edie, Jane Louise patiently waits to become pregnant, wondering if a baby will provide a sense of rootedness that still seems to elude her. When that longed-for child arrives, it transforms the Parkers' lives in a way that is as unexpected as it is rapturous. </p><br/><br><br><b>Author:</b> Laurie Colwin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Perennial<br><b>Published:</b> 04/20/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 272<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.40lb
