Maggie
'Katie Yee is a storyteller extraordinaire' DELIA EPHRON, sister of Nora Ephron and author of Siracusa'An absolutely delightful debut! An inspiring story of growth and wonder. Highly recommend!' ELIN HILDERBRAND, author of The Perfect Couple, now a major Netflix series'A stand-out and must-read debut... Every paragraph is perfect' WEIKE WANG, author of Joan Is Okay'Miraculously funny, a tender and wisecracking missive from the midst of catastrophe' HILARY LEICHTER, author of Terrace StoryA man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman expects a lovely night filled with endless plates of samosas. Instead, she finds out her husband is having an affair with a woman named Maggie.A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn't just heartbreak-it's cancer. She decides to call the tumor Maggie.Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumor), getting acquainted with her body's new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a "Guide to My Husband: A User's Manual" for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband's whims and quirks. She turns her children's bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture-and to maybe save herself in the process.In the style of Jenny Offill and the tradition of Nora Ephron's hilarious and devastating writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is a master class in transforming personal tragedy into a form of defiant comedy.

Uppoa ronskiin romantiikkaan! Häpeämätön historiallinen romaani sukeltaa 1780-luvun terveyskylpyihin ja intiimeistä hoidoistaan kuulun lääkärin syliin. Maggie Waywardin elämään ei ole koskaan mahtunut kuin kaksoisveli Richard. Sairaalloisen veljen parantamiseksi on kokeiltu kaikkea – paitsi koko Lontoon halutuimman tohtorin kylpyjä. Kun Richardin lisäksi myös Maggie intoutuu nauttimaan jumalaisen tohtori Foxin vesiä, raja terapeuttisen ja tuhman välillä hämärtyy. Samalla vesi nostaa pintaan kipeitä muistoja lapsuudesta Bathissa, jonka sisarukset ovat päättäneet unohtaa. Ja entä jos Maggie ei ole ainoa Foxista huumaantunut? Terhi Tarkiainen (s. 1977) raikastaa historiallisen romaanin genreä tuomalla siihen ilottelevaa leikillisyyttä, joka oli varsin ominaista myös hänen kuvaamansa 1700-luvun kirjallisuudelle. Maggie, eli kuinka jano tyydytetään on hänen neljäs romaaninsa.
