Coming out of Hibernation
Spring is springing--it's time to come out of hibernation. And Elizabeth Eslami has a new book out that should definitely do the trick. It's called Hibernate, and it's got one of the most amazing book trailers... seriously... I want to watch the movie!

About Hibernate
Elizabeth
Eslami follows ordinary men and women who slowly bump heads with hard
choices. A fishing trip forces two Montana brothers to grow up in ways
they could have never expected. A Sudanese immigrant begins a new life
with his girlfriend in America, only to find himself sucked in to his
mother’s past transgressions. A group of tourists visits an Indian
pueblo and realizes their tour guide is nothing like they expected. A
shipwrecked captain and his men cling to the company of narwhals and
Eskimos. And in the unforgettable title story, two lovers trade life as
they’ve known it for an escape in the extraordinary. Eslami moves her
restless, resilient characters across an uneven landscape toward a hard
earned place of peace.
Reviewers comments
“Each
of Eslami’s stories works on the reader like a solar eclipse. There is
the same feeling of melancholy suspense, the expectation of something
rare and beautiful, of being held both inside and outside of time. And
then comes that brief moment when we are able to look fully at what
would otherwise blind us, those things we do to each other in the name
of love and anger and fear.” -Karen Palmer, author of All Saints
”Using
clean lines, Eslami cannily depicts the variety of human strangeness
and longing. These stories are sage, vital, and addictive. More than
that: they will pierce your heart.” -Elise Blackwell, author of An Unfinished Score
