Petit Fours

6 Delectable Bites of Contemporary Women's Fiction

Our connections make us who we are—imperfect and entirely human. Ah, love, unruly love, offering us bonds to expand our lives—or narrow our horizons. Meet a scientist who travels across a continent to grapple with his persistent restlessness, an exhausted mother leaning into the precipice toward desire, a second wife elevating herself to beloved status, a design engineer wrestling through her painful history to embrace the present, a wounded equestrian finding solace—and more—in her Grandmother’s Italian villa, and a hellion tackling the uncharted territory of softer emotions. Unwind as you discover how uniquely fraught and surprising the everyday world can be.
