Ordinary Hazards
Autor Anna Brunoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2021
It's 5 p.m. on a Wednesday when Emma settles into her hometown bar with a motley crew of locals, all unaware that a series of decisions over the course of a single night is about to change their lives forever. As the evening unfolds, key details about Emma's history emerge, and the past comes bearing down on her like a freight train.
Why has Emma, a powerhouse in the business world, ended up here? What is she running away from? And what is she willing to give up to recapture the love she once cherished?
A "crisp, haunting, and intelligent" (Stephen Markley, author of Ohio) exploration of modern love, guilt, and the place we call home, Ordinary Hazards follows one woman's epic journey back to a life worth living.

Recenzii
‘Seen through keen eyes and full of deep feeling, Ordinary Hazards delves into the psyche of a woman grappling with grief, loss and the burdens of inheritance. Anna Bruno vividly renders the messiness of a single human life in all its joy and heartbreak’ Claire Lombardo, author of The Most Fun We Ever Had
‘Crisp, haunting and intelligent. Beneath the surface of this booze-soaked, small town, dive bar novel lies a devastating story of loss, guilt and grief. Bruno’s narrator proves a dark, funny, unflinching companion as you descend with her, step by step, towards the revelation of what has led her to the bar tonight’ Stephen Markley, author of Ohio
‘It’s rare to read a novel that takes such an unflinching look at grief, self-recrimination and the way people try to put themselves back together after loss’ Lydia Kiesling, author of The Golden State
‘Each character in Ordinary Hazards bears the weight of their history, and Bruno shows how even the most devastating secrets deserve redemption’ Fatima Mirza, author of A Place for Us
‘Quiet but emotionally engaging, this atmospheric novel has a raft of enduring characters . . . Bruno has a gift for observation which she uses to produce a haunting examination of love, loss and grief’ Daily Mail
‘Impressive . . . a beguiling portrayal of grief’ Prima Magazine
‘Devastating’ Woman’s Way
‘A kaleidoscopic novel of the best variety, spinning into and out of itself as it explores grief, love and loss in ways that will haunt readers long past the last page’ Shelf Awareness
‘Bruno shows a masterful talent for sketching both the outlines and depths of depression, guilt and self-loathing . . . A spellbinding portrait of grief’ Kirkus Reviews
'Echoing the small-town atmospheric work of Richard Russo, Andre Dubus III and Jane Smiley, Bruno's novel introduces a lyrical, earnest and heartfelt voice. For the regulars, or anyone who's walked into a woodpaneled haven and had their drink of choice slid across a well-polished bar without exchanging a word, Ordinary Hazards burns deliciously, but goes down easy' Booklist
'Engrossing . . . Bruno’s thoughtful tale offers memorable insights on the meaning of home' Publishers Weekly
