On this week's episode of The Library Love Fest Podcast, Sarah Lambert, the Marketing Assistant at Harper, called her author Jaclyn Moriarty to talk about her upcoming U.S. adult debut, Gravity Is the Thing.
Gravity Is the Thing tells the story of single mother and cafe owner Abigail Sorenson. Twenty years ago, her brother Robert went missing one day before her sixteenth birthday, never to be seen again. That same year, she began receiving scattered chapters in the mail of a self-help manual, the Guidebook, whose anonymous author promised to make her life soar to heights beyond her wildest dreams. Now, two decades after receiving those first pages, Abi is invited to an all-expenses paid weekend retreat to learn “the truth” about the Guidebook.
Gravity Is the Thing is a smart, unusual, wickedly funny novel about the search for happiness that will break your heart into a million pieces and put it back together, bigger and better than before.
A book Marian Keyes calls “one of the most magical, different, interesting, likable, lovable, beautiful, sad, lovely, immensely uplifting books I have ever read. I read it in an agony of loving it but also being so humbled by the fact that if I lived to be 7,022 years old I would never be able to write a book as good as this. You will adore it—it’s an instant classic.”
