Picket Fences: A Novel
Autor Emma L.R. Hoggen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 oct 2020
Sloane Sawyer had it all planned—she and her best friend Stephie would graduate from high school, get out of Tippett Valley and have dazzling complementary careers. Sloane would become an award-winning graphic designer, creating band posters using Stephie's artwork. She would also have a loving husband, the requisite two kids and a house with a white picket fence. As she turns thirty, Sloane has a boring job and a boss who ignores her. She has no children, doesn't own a house, has gained fifteen pounds and questions how her video game-playing husband could possibly love her. And Stephie, working in a bar and living in Tippett Valley with the disreputable Randy, is increasingly distant. Even as Sloane clings to her dream, she comes to realize that she and Stephie won't be able to move forward until they finally confront an old tragedy.

Recenzii
Sloane Sawyer had it all planned . . . she and her best friend Stephie would graduate from high school, get out of Tippett Valley and have dazzling careers. She would also have a loving husband, the requisite two kids and a house with a white picket fence.
As she turns thirty, Sloane has a boring job and a boss who ignores her. She has no children, doesn’t own a house, has gained fifteen pounds and questions how her video-game-playing husband could possibly love her. Even as Sloane clings to her dreams, she comes to realize that she and Stephie won’t be able to move forward until they finally confront an old tragedy.
A funny and poignant story about coming of age after you’ve already grown up.
"Taking threads from the lives of girls and women, Emma L.R. Hogg weaves together utterly believable inner and outer worlds. Here is a promising new voice in Canadian fiction." DARCIE FRIESEN HOSSACK
"Local author, Emma L.R. Hogg, is a skilled storyteller, and her latest novel, Picket Fences, touches on complicated relationships of the romantic, friend, and familial variety, offering a look at the everyday trials and changes that can occur over time. High-school friendships, work relationships, complicated lovers, marriage difficulties, and the different ways of dealing with grief. Hogg covers all of these topics and more and connects with areas that are a part of the human experience for so many." The Sentient.
"I cannot do this book justice with a description. It is about nothing and everything. It’s complicated yet simple, happy yet sad. I found myself laughing out loud and then teary eyed. The storytelling is masterful and I will not forget Picket Fences for a very long time." APRIL SANDERLIN, The Fictional Housewife
