ReviewsHer writing creeps up on you, like a crescent moon that seems to mysteriously switch sides in the night sky during a drive down a winding highway -- taunting, unsettling, beautiful., Fishman strikes the right balance in her warm-fuzzy debut of rekindled friendship and self-empowerment., Fishman effectively balances humor and tension, crafting an involving portrayal of three women coping with the idea and obstacles of motherhood., Fishman deftly explores the intricate territory of mother-daughter relationships as well as the haunting specter of an Alzheimer's diagnosis for famously independent Edith...you have a delicious literary chicken soup for the soul., A charming and warm story about new adventures and old friends and how this likable heroine learns to embrace them both., A beautifully crafted story about second chances and life's big surprises. Warm spirited and emotionally rich, Inheriting Edith celebrates the fine line between friendship and family. These characters will tug at your heart., Inheriting Edith is a beautifully written story about what it means to remember and what it means to forget. Fishman masterfully portrays both a single mother and an older woman with Alzheimer's, as they are both struggling to come to terms with their pasts, their futures, and each other., Fishman deftly works a small love story around larger themes of loyalty, courage, and social justice, turning what begins as adolescent angst into a touching bildungsroman., At turns funny and poignant, Driving Lessons is a refreshingly honest and insightful story of a woman whose questions about the direction of her life follow her from the big city to small country roads.

SynopsisWinner of the 2020 Georgia Author of the Year Award! One of Booklist's Top 10 Books of the Year! A provocative and timely new novel by the author of Inheriting Edith, one that will haunt you long after the final page is turned... Sylvie Snow knows the pressures of expectations: a woman is supposed to work hard, but never be tired; age gracefully, but always be beautiful; fix the family problems, but always be carefree. Sylvie does the grocery shopping, the laundry, the scheduling, the schlepping and the PTA-ing, while planning her son's Bar Mitzvah and cheerfully tending her husband, Paul, who's been lying on the sofa with a broken ankle. She's also secretly addicted to the Oxycontin intended for her husband. For three years, Sylvie has repressed her grief about the heartbreaking stillbirth of her newborn daughter, Delilah. On the morning of the anniversary of her death, when she just can't face doing one...more...thing: she takes one--just one--of her husband's discarded pain pills. And suddenly she feels patient, kinder, and miraculously relaxed. She tells herself that the pills are temporary, just a gift, and that when the supply runs out she'll go back to her regularly scheduled programming. But days turn into weeks, and Sylvie slips slowly into a nightmare. At first, Paul and Teddy are completely unaware, but this changes quickly as her desperate choices reveal her desperate state. As the Bar Mitzvah nears, all three of them must face the void within themselves, both alone and together., A provocative and timely new novel by the author of Inheriting Edith, one that will haunt you long after the final page is turned...
