HTML:<b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER •&#160;“An extraordinary short story collection that deserves our closest attention.”—<i>Detroit Free Press</i></b><br /> <b>“Elizabeth Berg’s gift as a storyteller lies most powerfully in her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the remarkable in the everyday.”—<i>The Boston Globe</i><br /></b><br /> In this superb collection of short stories, Elizabeth Berg takes us into pivotal moments in the lives of women, when memories and events come together to create a sense of coherence, understanding, and change. In&#160;“Ordinary Life,” Mavis McPherson locks herself in the bathroom for a week, shutting out her husband and the realities of their life together—and no, she isn't contemplating a divorce. She just needs some time to think, take stock of her life, and to arrive, finally, at a surprising conclusion.<br /> In&#160;“White Dwarf” and&#160;“Martin's Letter to Nan,” the secrets of a marriage are revealed with sensitivity and&#160;“brilliant insights about the human condition” (<i>Detroit Free Press</i>) that have become trademark of Berg's writing. <i>The Charlotte Observer</i> has said,&#160;“Berg captures the way women think as well as any writer.” Those qualities of wisdom and perception are everywhere present in <i>Ordinary Life.</i>.
