Love and Biology at the Center of the Universe
Jennie Shortridge
"An accomplished and superior novelist" (Statesman
Journal) delivers a bittersweet book about a woman's midlife
crisis that asks: How does a good girl know when to finally
let herself be bad?
When she learns that her college sweetheart husband has been
seeing another woman, Mira Serafino's perfect world is
shattered and she wants no one, least of all her big Italian
family, to know. She heads northwith no destination
and little money stopping only when her car breaks
down in Seattle. She takes a job at the offbeat Coffee Shop
at the Center of the Universe, where she'll experience a
terrifying but invigorating freedom, and meet someone she'll
come to love: the new Mira.
