"Equally funny and brutal, this novel breathes vivid life into a much maligned and little understood 'type'--the expat wife. Maxfield poured her heart into the writing, and it shows: the pages crackle." --Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" and "This Is How You Lose Her." “Reads like your best friend’s blisteringly funny diary." —Susan Conley, Author of "Landslide" and "The Foremost Good Fortune"
