What better moment, then, to fall headlong into a passionate affair, fly off to France with her new lover, and effectively take a match to her life on the Iowa prairie? \u003cbr\u003e As she steps back to survey the damage and determine her way forward, Phillipa must contend with a wedding-day tornado, a menace of a mother-in-law who may or may not have been a Nazi collaborator, and the tragicomic revenge fantasies of her otherwise docile husband. Which is to say: the damage is not easily contained, and the path ahead is not clear. \u003cbr\u003e Thisbe Nissen offers up a fever-pitched, bitingly funny novel about a woman's quest to find her place in her own story. \u003cem\u003eOur Lady of the Prairie\u003c\/em\u003e is a bravura performance--a twister sweeping through the heart of the land and the land of the heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Wonderfully witty.\" -- \u003cem\u003eChicago Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Brazen, sexy, and whip-smart.\" -- \u003cem\u003eRefinery29\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thisbe Nissen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781328507983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHISBE NISSEN is the author of a story collection, \u003ci\u003eOut of the Girls' Room and into the Night\u003c\/i\u003e, and two novels, \u003ci\u003eThe Good People of New York\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOsprey Island\u003c\/i\u003e.
