A TOUCH OF FATE FULL

How do we choose when we donвЂ™t know the right answer? Alison McGhee is a fearless writer, full of love for humanity and a tender touch with words. вЂњThe Opposite of FateВ dives deep into one of the more terrifying-and yet hopeful-questions of life. The Opposite of Fate is a story about stories: the ones we tell ourselves in order to bear the unbearable, solve the unsolvable, and live.вЂќ -Maggie Smith, author of Good Bones I was driven to turn page after page to find out what would happen-Would Mallie reassemble her life? What would вЂњthe whole truthвЂќ look like when it was pieced back together?-but I also wanted to slow down and savor each beautiful sentence, each image.

вЂњAlison McGheeвЂ™s The Opposite of Fate is, like everything she writes, as close to poetry as prose gets, full of metaphor and imagery and lyrical repetition. The Opposite of FateВ came out in trade paperback (beautifully designed and affordable!) by the wonderful people at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt on February 18, 2020. What happened to her? Why are the people she most loves either absent or unwilling to tell her the truth? How do you make sense of your life when so much has happened to you at the decree of other people, people who donвЂ™t even know you?

After many months in a coma-like state, Mallie awakens to find herself, and the world around her, changed in profound ways. itвЂ™s as if the cover artist was living inside my own heart when she designed it.Дescribed as вЂњbook club goldвЂќ by early readers, The Opposite of Fate is the story of twenty-one-year old Mallie, living a life filled with love and purpose, who is assaulted and left for dead. Take a look at that gorgeous cover of my brand-new novel, will you? The birds, the darkness, the light, the shadowy young woman wondering what has happened to her.
