The Lost Father

Mona Simpson

In her highly acclaimed first novel, Anywhere But Here, Simpson created one of the most astute yet frighteningly vulnerable heroines in contemporary fiction. Now Mayan Atassi--once Mayan Stevenson--returns in an immensely powerful novel about love and lovelessness, fathers and fatherlessness, and the loyalties that shape us even when they threaten to destroy us.
