Pete and Alice in Maine : a novel / by Shetterly, Caitlin,author.;
'Pete and Alice in Maine' is a beautifully written debut novel set against the backdrop of the chaotic spring of 2020 that intimately explores a fractured marriage and the struggles of modern parenthood. When we first meet the title characters of Caitlin Shetterlys gripping novel, theyre fleeing pandemic ravaged New York with their children for the relative safety of their second home. How satisfying it would be in this age of easy social media judgment to despise them for their privilege. The only thing preventing it, really, is that this very fine novel - like all good novels - insists upon getting to know them. I loved it. - Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo.
