Branded by immigrant superstitions and parochial school inhibitions, Lucy Ferrante labors to fit in. Unsure of her own identity, unwilling to take a chance, she struggles to reconcile learning and living in the land between hope and despair. A catastrophic collision hurls her into a world where the rules are the same for all. Seeds of her need for relearning
sprout with power in permission and the possibility of change. New freedoms emerge while navigating loss and family relationships, sin and sex and forgiveness. Memories start making sense. A riddle trespassing a comedy, will Lucy make it back home? The Nicest Word is a psychological coming of age which comes at the middle of life, and straddles the last midcentury, somewhere in the country's Midwest. In TV terms, a comparison is This Is Us meets Shrinking. It is a book best read with friends, so pick some up today, an invitation to choose your own adventure and répondez s'il vous plait.
