There are two seasons in Jeffrey, New Hampshire, winter and getting ready for winter, those few weeks of warm weather when visitors fill the town.In this collection one meets a range of characters, among them Milly, a fitness instructor, who finds the man of her dreams; Nicki, a graduating senior at the high school, who survives an attack, flees the town, and returns to trade places with her mother; Whitney Beck, who kissed a fading move star and is now fading himself; a poet who is a thief; a wife determined to save her husband's golf game; and the owner of a bookstore who finds herself high above the town on a windy night. The stories in Fog are not only intelligent and sexy (as readers have said), but also elegantly written, stories that consider the varieties of love and affirm the beauty of the places we see around us and geographies we can only imagine. about the author Christopher Brookhouse, honored with the Rosenthal Award by the American Academy of Arts and Letters, is the author of five novel and two collections of poetry.
