This town, fiercely protective, brutal and unforgiving in its adherence to tradition, faces a singular affliction: some mothers vanish, disappearing into the clouds. It is the exquisite pain and intrinsic beauty of their lives; it sets them apart from people elsewhere and gives them meaning. Vera, a young girl when her own mother went, is on the cusp of adulthood herself. As her peers begin to marry and become mothers, they speculate about who might be the first to go, each wondering about her own fate. Reveling in their gossip, they witness each other in motherhood, waiting for signs: this one devotes herself to her child too much, this one not enough--that must surely draw the affliction's gaze. When motherhood comes for Vera, she is faced with the question: will she be able to stay and mother her beloved child, or will she disappear? Provocative and hypnotic, Alexis Schaitkin's Elsewhere is at once a spellbinding revelation and a rumination on the mysterious task of motherhood and all the ways in which a woman can lose herself to it; the self-monitoring and judgment, the doubts and unknowns, and the legacy she leaves behind"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Science Fiction Schaitkin Checked out 07/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Schaitkin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
