Laura Brodie is a Harvard graduate and visiting professor of English at Washington and Lee University in Virginia. Her first book, Breaking Out- VMI and the Coming of Women, was published by Pantheon to critical acclaim. Her memoir, One Good Year- Love in a Time of Homeschooling, is forthcoming from Harper. The Widow's Season, her first novel, won the 2005 Faulkner Society/Evans Harrington Grant for Best Novel-in-Progress. Laura lives in Lexington, Virginia.
Joining writers such as Joyce Carol Oates and Jodi Picoult, Laura Brodie takes an unflinching yet wise and tender look at contemporary society and the desperate need each of us has to solve the mysteries of who we are and what we mean to each other. A poignant, beautifully realized novel...I couldn't stop reading. Brodie expertly walks the line between reality and fantasy, life and death, heartache and love, leaving readers hoping for the best and prepared for the worst-without ever really knowing the truth-until the final five pages. The Widow's Season is far more than what it seems to be at first-a straightforward story of a woman getting used to a crushing loss. It's smarter, slyer, and more unconventional than that. It's haunting-and haunted too.
