The Blondes

The BlondesA breakout novel for a young writer whose last book was shortlisted for the Trillium Prize alongside Anne Michaels and Margaret Atwood, and whom the Toronto Star called a "force of nature." Hazel Hayes is a graduate student living in New York City when she learns that she is pregnant from an ill advised affair with her married professor. More worrisome than the shock of this discovery is the apocalyptically bad timing: random but deadly attacks, all

but really important things

The Help is her first novel

and Victor are reunited for the extravagant wedding of a college friend

Charlie reluctantly travels cross-country with his boy-crazy sister

Complete text of the NIV

that gift is a charred and mummified body

Emma Clifton wants to replace him

She has fallen for an ivory lace couture gown that is to die for

Safety seems to come in the form of Woodbury

And then there is Enid

these illegitimate children of the local landowner revel in exploiting the wealthy Anglo-Austrians
