Product Information

"A family's world is irrevocably rocked when an old female lover from Mom's past reappears" in this "sexy, audacious, politically charged" novel ( Vanity Fair ). Eager to escape her damaging past, Alison Rose is drawn to Zoe, a free-spirited artist who offers emotional stability and a love outside the norm. They spend a number of happy years together-until the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake deepens fissures in their relationship, and Alison leaves Zoe for a "normal" life with a man. But Alison's son is born in the midst of these complications and shifting emotional bonds, and ultimately the three adults must strive to create a life together that will test the boundaries and balance the needs of all. A story spanning two decades, set against the social, political, and geological upheavals of the Bay Area, A Theory of Small Earthquakes "explores the vagaries of love and the true nature of family" ( People ). " An inventive, addictive novel that teaches us something new about love and sex, jealousy and loyalty, and also, and perhaps most importantly, motherhood." -Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother and Red Hook Road "Call it "Two Women, One Man and a Baby." Maran's take on the modern family is at once unexpected and totally relatable." - MORE

Praise for A Theory of Small Earthquakes "A family''s world is irrevocably rocked when an old female lover from Mom''s past reappears, in Meredith Maran''s sexy, audacious, politically charged, and sure-to-be-talked about first novel, A Theory of Small Earthquakes . Ah, l''amour, l''amour." — Vanity Fair "Meredith Maran is a powerful storyteller with a big heart and a big talent." —Terry McMillan, author of Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back "A fictional parenting triangle that challenges assumptions." — Reader''s Digest "A love story that had me in tears at the end. Maran has written a thoughtful, moving, honest novel that is simultaneously personal and political." —Kate Christensen, author of The Astral and The Great Man "Meredith Maran's dazzling debut is a provocative, funny, and deeply moving look at the ties that bind—and sometimes strangle—and the ways we struggle for the love we yearn for. I adored this novel." —Caroline Leavitt, author of Pictures of You "Funny, lively, political, personal, nostalgic, touching, A Theory of Small Earthquakes deftly chronicles love and its various meanings. I enjoyed it greatly." —Meg Wolitzer, author of The Uncoupling and The Ten-Year Nap "A smart, sexy, funny, wrenching, delicious story of lust and trust and love and family." —Anne Lamott, author of Imperfect Birds and Bird by Bird "Any woman who has ever struggled against the odds to keep her family running smoothly will identify with complex, authentic, paradoxical Alison Rose, whose redemption is at stake in this marvelous novel. A Theory Of Small Earthquakes teaches us something new about love and sex, jealousy and loyalty, and also, and perhaps most importantly, motherhood. Meredith Maran's first novel is a powerful debut that left me waiting impatiently for her second." —Ayelet Waldman, author of Red Hook Road and Bad Mother "In this groundbreaking novel, Meredith Maran has told a story few writers, if any, have explored: of a woman drawn to two lovers and two distinct worlds, and of the unlikely family she creates, with two extraordinarily different partners, each of whom speaks to a different aspect of her desire. With rare honesty and courage, Maran asks us to consider whether sexuality can be defined by preference for one gender or the other, or if—as this blunt story proposes—it is shifting and sometimes stormy as the tides." —Joyce Maynard, author of The Good Daughters and At Home in the World "With acerbic wit and an uncanny intelligence for the inner workings of the human heart, Meredith Maran has written a deliciously messy love story. I couldn't stop turning the pages." —Lolly Winston, author of Good Grief and Happiness Sold Separately "In A Theory Of Small Earthquakes , Meredith Maran weaves a tale that explores the twists and turns of love's fulfillment—romantic, maternal, and pursuit of family. She has a keen eye for the universal truths of the human condition that transcends all boundaries, whether gender or sexual, and plots a story that will have the reader eager to turn the pages to find out how Alison Rose chooses to live her life." —Lalita Tademy, author of the Oprah's Book Club selection Cane River "In this smart, sexy, brave book, Meredith Maran reveals herself as a novelist to reckon with. Her portrait of a genuinely intricate love triangle holds up a truth-telling mirror for baby boomers, mapping their struggles with sexuality, partnership, and parenting. Irresistibly funny and serious, confident and layered, A Theory Of Small Earthquakes shows what a hard-won happy ending looks like." —Elizabeth Rosner, author of Speed of Light and Blue Nude, Praise for A Theory of Small Earthquakes "Meredith Maran is a powerful storyteller with a big heart and a big talent." —Terry McMillan, author of Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back "A fictional parenting triangle that challenges assumptions." — Reader's Digest "A love story that had me in tears at the end.

Maran's novel effectively reminds us that this possible seismic social shift is really less a "hot topic" than a question of deeply human needs." — The Boston Globe "A fictional parenting triangle that challenges assumptions." — Reader's Digest "A love story that had me in tears at the end.
