A novelist muses on maturing, seeking, traveling, and other themes in this collection of short stories and essays. Explorations of whimsy and wisdom take the reader from the basement of a young girl learning about the Holocaust via a repair person, to a literal and psychological deep dive in the Caribbean, to the humble truths of a dung beetle in Africa, and all points in between.

Essays range from a riff on the importance of finding a well-fitting bra to fictional imaginings about a divorc e who seeks healing on her trip to a remote Caribbean island. The challenges of aging figure prominently in two stories: Knock, Knock shares the tale of Selma, who is dealing with the dementia of her longtime husband, whose thoughts appear in italicized segments throughout the narrative, and Country Villa, about a woman visiting her father, Morton, in a nursing home. The authors keen perception and compassion light the way in this diverse assembly of entertaining observational gems.
