Beschreibung

Inertia is a property of matter and of marriages. Lori is a nurturing type who avoids conflict, priding herself on her adaptability. Parenting keeps her too busy to face her eroding relationship with independent Ike, who is consumed by his job. Receiving only crumbs of attention and affection has left Lori starved, so she throws herself into helping others and finds that a unique new friendship gives her some of the companionship and fulfillment she's been missing. A series of wake-up calls jolts both Lori and Ike into unavoidable conflict and self-examination, climaxing over fears for their young daughter, Claire.


Plotless has been called a nonconformist love story for middle-aged people. Many of us are feeling frustrated and fragmented in our lives and relationships. We know something is out of whack, but we're just too damn tired to deal with it. Written as a series of vignettes, journal entries, and lists, this novel will surprise and validate readers as the protagonist and her small family break the inertia and figure out what works for them.
