Oddballs: A Novel of Affections

A stunning debut novel, a richly amusing tale of loners and eccentrics; a kooky, deranged love story with its heart in just the right place. In New Hampshire, Rachel's world falls apart when her boyfriend dies. Slicing her skin with razor blades no longer gives relief. A stranger claiming to be a long-lost aunt turns up at her home, and Rachel allows her into her life. As they travel to a remote coastal village in Ireland, a tale of chance and despair turns into a weirdly compelling transatlantic love story. ""[A] wise and witty first novel.""-Irish Voice ""A unique, offbeat and humorous coming of age tale, `Oddballs' is a worthwhile pick for general fiction readers.""-Midwest Book Review
