Wayward by Dana Spiotta Book Summary

A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR • A “furious and addictive new novel” (The New York Times) about mothers and daughters, and one woman's midlife reckoning as she flees her suburban life.

“A virtuosic, singular and very funny portrait of a woman seeking sanity and purpose in a world gone mad.” —The New York Times Book Review

“Riddled with insights into aging, womanhood, and discontent, Wayward is as elegant as it is raw, and almost as funny as it is sad.” —Philadelphia Inquirer
 
“A comic, vital new novel.” —The New Yorker
 
Samantha Raymond's life has begun to come apart: her mother is ill, her teenage daughter is increasingly remote, and at fifty-two she finds herself staring into "the Mids"—that hour of supreme wakefulness between three and four in the morning in which women of a certain age suddenly find themselves contemplating motherhood, mortality, and, in this case, the state of our unraveling nation.

When she falls in love with a beautiful, decrepit house in a hardscrabble neighborhood in Syracuse, she buys it on a whim and flees her suburban life—and her family—as she grapples with how to be a wife, a mother, and a daughter, in a country that is coming apart at the seams.

Dana Spiotta's Wayward is a stunning novel about aging, about the female body, and about female complexity in contemporary America. Probing and provocative, brainy and sensual, it is a testament to our weird times, to reforms and resistance and utopian wishes, and to the beauty of ruins.

Hard Pass. It is hard for me to enjoy a book if I don’t like the main character, and this I did NOT enjoy.

Awful. This purchase should come with a refund.

A struggle. Perhaps because I don’t have children.... it was hard for me to relate to this intimate mother- daughter story. At times I loved the story and characters... but I found it a struggle to finish the book. The Loomis sidebar was fascinating however!

Ummm. It feels like if this was an audio book it would be read in If this was an audio version it would a droll monotone. There seems to be a whole genre of midlife crisis books which depict women’s lives as wasted and fraught with petty anxieties. Their remedies are claustrophobic instead of being uplifting or at least unselfish. E

Don’t read didnt learn 1 thing. Don’t read a waste of time. Was quick is the only positive thing I can say. Have no idea why reviews of this were good. Writing wasn’t even good. Not one notable paragraph or sentence!
