| Publisher Description: Soon to be a major motion picture starring Jessica Chastain Losing Clementine] is poignant and insightful and also surprisingly funny, thanks to its nasty, charming narrator. --Gillian Flynn, New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl A smart, sharp and moving debut--by turns hilarious and tragic-- Losing Clementine follows a famous artist as she gives herself one month to get her messy affairs in order before turning out the lights on her own life. World-renowned artist and sharp-tongued wit Clementine Pritchard is done. Years of therapy and medication have gifted her with little more than sweaty palms and gastric upset. Now, after flushing away a cabinet full of prescriptions, she gives herself thirty days to tie up loose ends (finish one final painting, make nice with her ex-husband, find a home for her cat) and enjoy one last month of art-world parties, road trips and outrageous acts. What Clementine doesn't expect is to uncover secrets surrounding the decades-old tragedy that befell her mother and sister. With the date of her carefully planned demise fast approaching, can she dive back into the messy business of family and life? Does she want to? |
Contributor Bio(s): Ream, Ashley: - Ashley Ream's debut novel, Losing Clementine, was a Barnes & Noble debut pick, a Sutter Home Book Club pick and was short-listed for the Balcones Fiction Prize. Her latest, The 100 Year Miracle, was named an Amazon Best Book of the Month and was selected as the 2017 Whidbey Island all-island read. The Seattle Times called it "an absorbing story with an arresting premise," and The Charlotte Observer said, "Every page holds little treasures of observation." She lives with her family in a small house on a small mountain in the big woods outside of Seattle. "Where is all this going to lead? To places only Ashley Ream's boundless imagination could envision." --Toronto Star |
