Woman Made of Sand — Joanna Kobin

Centered around a marriage-before, during, and after-this remarkable novel takes readers into the lives of Phillip and Harriet Stedman and reveals in sparkling, beautifully rendered prose what they mean to each other, to in-laws and children and friends and lovers...and how, despite our best attempts at building relationships, our understanding of even those closest to us can be as fleeting and fragile as a sculpture made of sand.
