“A distinctly satisfying read [from] a splendid storyteller.”
—Washington Post Book World
Nora and her twenty-one-year-old daughter, Fern, have a tumultuous relationship. Fern has never really forgiven her mother for leaving their family to live with her lover, Jeanne. For her part, Nora finds Fern incomprehensible. When unexpected changes complicate their lives, they begin to find their way back to each other. Marked by Anshaw’s electric prose, finely drawn characters, and sharp insight, Lucky in the Comer presents a trenchant portrait of contemporary American family life.

SEVEN MOVES
“A tightly told tale that resists the bookmark as well as any thriller.”—Chicago Sun-Times
Christine Snow, a successful Chicago therapist, sets out to find her vanished lover, a sultry and elusive travel photographer. Forging a trail that leads into the heart of Morocco, Seven Moves tracks Christine’s gradual recognition that no one can ever really know another’s soul. Bearing Anshaw’s trademark style—funny, hip, and laser sharp—this is a novel filled with both jazzy spirit and the poignancy of loss.
