Product Information
In her ruefully funny and wickedly perceptive debut novel, Alison Espach deftly dissects matters of the heart and captures the lives of children and adults as they come to terms with life, death, and love. At the center of this affluent suburban universe is Emily Vidal, a smart and snarky teenager, who gets involved in a suspect relationship with one of the adults after witnessing a suicide in her neighborhood. Among the cast of unforgettable characters is Emily's father, whose fiftieth birthday party has the adults descending upon the Vidal's patio; her mother, who has orchestrated the elaborate party even though she and her husband are getting a divorce; and an assortment of eccentric neighbors, high school teachers, and teenagers who teem with anxiety and sexuality and an unbridled desire to be noticed, and ultimately loved. An irresistible chronicle of a modern young woman's struggle to grow up, The Adults lays bare--in perfect pitch--a world where an adult and a child can so dangerously be mistaken for the same exact thing.

Reviews
"Coming of age with a quick wit and a sharp eye… The Adults is as idiosyncratic as it is stirring." - New York Times, Coming of age with a quick wit and a sharp eye, "The Adults" is as idiosyncratic as it is stirring. New York Times, "With shining prose and razor-sharp wit, Alison Espach writes about the murky landscape between childhood and adulthood, the mistakes and misunderstandings, the betrayals and the beauty. THE ADULTS is a piercing and authentic journey through adolescence, filled with squeamish missteps and laugh-out-loud insights, wrenching heartache, and characters so rich and tenderly drawn that one can't help but love them through all their flaws and failures. I absolutely adored this book." - Aryn Kyle, author of The God of Animals and Boys and Girls Like You and Me, "Espach is a gifted writer, making Emily brave, bold and timid all at once." e" St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "This cri de coeur carries a freshness and charm -- honorable, too, for its cutting accuracy." -- San Francisco Chronicle, "This cri de coeur carries a freshness and charm - honorable, too, for its cutting accuracy." - San Francisco Chronicle, "Coming of age with a quick wit and a sharp eye& The Adults is as idiosyncratic as it is stirring." - New York Times, "Every single sentence has tragicomic verve in The Adults .Alison Espach's coming-of-age novel is jaggedly funny, moving when you least expect it, and wise beyond its years.
