amnesiac

"A brilliant novel about art, love, and deeply held secrets from New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg What happens when, over the course of twenty-four hours, your lifelong dream suddenly goes up in flames? Who are you when your dreams disappear, and how do you live without them? In THE AMNESIAC, Nicole Abernathy has to figure out exactly that when her debut novel receives a scathing, career-detonating review. When afterwards she and her husband take a week-long trip to New Orleans-to dance, drink, and forget about life for a while-they end up falling in love with the beautiful, crumbling city and on a whim decide to move there, leaving their New York lives behind. But not long after their arrival, her husband's adventurous spirit begins to reveal itself to be something more, and Nicole begins to wonder how much, exactly, he's hiding from her.
