| Summary, etc.: | In her stunning debut collection, The Wonder Garden, Lauren Acampora brings to the page with enchanting realism the myriad lives of a suburban town and lays them bare. These linked stories take a trenchant look at the flawed people of Old Cranbury, incisive tales that reveal at each turn the unseen battles we play out behind drawn blinds, the creeping truths from which we distract ourselves, and the massive dreams we haul quietly with us and hold close. In a series of interconnected short stories, the residents of Old Cranbury, Connecticut face unseen battles and creeping truths, dreaming the massive dreams that each person holds close-- and that hold them close to each other. |
