{"product_id":"one-for-sorrow-two-for-joy-9781416516927","title":"One for Sorrow, Two for Joy","description":"For two quietly unhappy years, linguist Claire Gallagher has been living deep in the New Hampshire woods, enduring a polite but strained marriage to a highly respected scientist. Once a determined overachiever and academic star in her own right, she now spends her days avoiding her stalled dissertation and creating EZ crossword puzzles. But for all Claire's knowledge of words and their meanings, the meaning in her own life eludes her. One bleak morning in winter, she announces that she's leaving. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By nightfall, at the urging of her younger sister Noelle, Claire finds herself heading to the last place she thought she would ever go: Ireland -- the birthplace of her abrasive, chronically ill mother and the country Noelle, a college dropout, now calls home. In a small town on the Irish coast, Claire's struggle to move ahead with her life takes her deep into the puzzles of her past -- in a world in which there are no simple answers, and the only questions that matter are those of the heart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elise Juska\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pocket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.49w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416516927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2007 pg. 413\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRomantic Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 54 - Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJuska, Elise:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eElise Juska'\u003c\/b\u003es short stories have appeared in many magazines, including \u003ci\u003eThe Hudson Review, Harvard Review, Salmagundi, Black Warrior Review, Calyx, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Seattle Review.\u003c\/i\u003e She teaches fiction writing at The New School in New York City and The University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
