About this product
Product Information
In this superb collection of short stories, the bestselling author of Open House and Talk Before Sleep takes us into the times in women's lives when memories and events cohere to create a sense of wholeness, understanding, and change. In Ordinary Life, Mavis McPherson locks herself in the bathroom for a week, and no, she isn't contemplating getting a divorce-she just needs some time to think, to take stock of her life, and she comes to a surprising conclusion. In Today's Special,a woman recognizes the solace she finds in the simple, timeless fare and atmosphere of the local diner and, ultimately, the harmony within her own spirit that familiar comforts can evoke. In White Dwarf, the secrets of a marriage are revealed as a couple passes the time with a seemingly insignificant word-association game. And in "Martin's Letter to Nan," the unforgettable husband and wife from Berg's novel The Pull of the Moon engage in a new correspondence in which a different aspect of their marriage is revealed. Elizabeth Berg's fiction has been praised for its "brilliant insights about the human condition" (Detroit Free Press), and The Charlotte Observer has said that "Berg captures the way women think as well as any writer."Those same qualities of wisdom and insight are everywhere present in Ordinary Life.

Reviews
"There's something compelling about the way Berg knows her characters intimately, how she gets under their skin and leaves the reader with an indelible impression of lives challenged and changed." -The Seattle Times, aboutOpen House "Berg's writing is to literature what Chopin's études are to music-measured, delicate and impossible to walk away from until their completion." -Entertainment Weekly, aboutRange of Motion "Elizabeth Berg is one of those rare souls who can play with truths as if swinging across the void from one trapeze to another." -Joan Gould, aboutTalk Before Sleep "Elizabeth Berg writes with humor and a big heart about resilience, loneliness, love and hope. And the transcendence that redeems." -Andre Dubus, aboutDurable Goods, "There's something compelling about the way Berg knows her characters intimately, how she gets under their skin and leaves the reader with an indelible impression of lives challenged and changed." -The Seattle Times, about Open House "Berg's writing is to literature what Chopin's études are to music-measured, delicate and impossible to walk away from until their completion." -Entertainment Weekly, about Range of Motion "Elizabeth Berg is one of those rare souls who can play with truths as if swinging across the void from one trapeze to another." -Joan Gould, about Talk Before Sleep "Elizabeth Berg writes with humor and a big heart about resilience, loneliness, love and hope.
