The Shame
What if you could change your life? Would you do it? How would you do it?Alma and her family live close to the land: they raise chickens and sheep, they make maple syrup. Every day Almas husband leaves for his job at a nearby college while she stays home with their young children, cleans, searches for secondhand goods online, and reads books by the women writers she adores. Then, one night, she abruptly leaves it all behindspeeding through the darkness, away from their Vermont homestead, bound for New York.In a series of flashbacks, Alma reveals the circumstances and choices that led to this moment. The joys and claustrophobia of their remote life through the passing of each season. Her fears and uncertainties about motherhood. The painfully awkward faculty dinners. Her feelings of loneliness and failure. And her growing fascination with Celeste: the mysterious ceramicist and self-loving doppelgänger whose story begins as inspiration for Alma before turning into a powerful obsession.A fable both blistering and surreal, The Shame is a propulsive, funny, and thought-provoking debut about a woman in isolation, whose mindfueled by capitalism, motherhood, and the search for meaningful artattempts to betray her.
