Fifth Woman

Years after Caspers's unnamed narrator loses her first lover in a tragic accident, she finds herself wondering, ';What did she want from me? What are the things that matter?' In vivid, richly detailed vignettes, the book tracks the cyclical nature of grief and remembrance across a life fractured by loss. At times dryly comical, at other times radiantly surreal, The Fifth Woman is a testament to the resurrecting power of memory and enduring love.
