Claire Oshetsky's novel is a marvel: its language a joy, its imagination dizzying. Every time I thought I had cracked Chouette's central metaphor - aha, it's about motherhood! No, marriage! No, music! - the book flew out my grasp like a wary bird. It's a truly exhilarating read. Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind
Claire Oshetsky lives with her family in California. Chouette draws on her own experiences as the mother to non-conforming children.
