All My Mother's Lovers - by Ilana Masad (Paperback)

"Intimacy has always eluded Maggie Krause - despite being brought up by married parents, models of domestic bliss - until, that is, Lucia comes into her life.

But when Maggie's mom Iris dies in a car crash, Maggie returns home only to discover a withdrawn dad, an angry brother, and five sealed envelopes addressed to mysterious men her mother has never mentioned before.

Determined to run from her own grief and uncover the truth about Iris, Maggie embarks on a road trip to hand-deliver the letters and find out what these men meant to her mother.

Along the way, she uncovers a hidden life of secrets, lies, and generational divides, forcing her to confront the possibility that almost everything she knew about her mother - her marriage, her lukewarm relationship to Judaism, her disapproval of her daughter's queerness - is more meaningful than she ever allowed herself to imagine. All My Mother's Lovers is a meditation on the universality and particularity of family ties, grief, and generational divides, as well as a tender and biting portrait of sex, gender, and identity.

With her debut novel, Ilana Masad presents a dynamic, complex, and compassionate exploration of the intricate web of relationships that make up our lives.
