Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Driving home from work on a summer afternoon, Melba Burns witnesses a nightmare collision. The wreck ends her pursuit of success at any cost. Melba parks her car, quits her job and stops driving. She retreats into her beloved old farmhouse, yearning for a simpler peace. But peace and Melba's new roommate, JoLee Garry, have never met. A shallow, self-absorbed stunner, JoLee magnetizes messes and trouble. She brings boyfriends, booze and unresolved family ties along with her--a series of unexpected guests who transform Melba's fruitful solo life into something different, daring and richer.

Guest House is a banquet! Tragic and funny, wry and sexy, dark and triumphant... Like the main character, Melba, who wants “to sink into the bones of things,” I found myself looking at my own world in a different way, newly reminded that love is found in the glorious imperfection of things. Highly recommended.
