FRANCESCA MARCIANO signs
The End of Manners
(Knopf, $23.95)
|
Kirkus called it "A novel at once both sensuous and terrifying." Library Journal praised: "Writing with grace and heartfelt emotion, Marciano, both a novelist and an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, is a born storyteller. Her engaging work is strongly recommended." And from Publishers Weekly: "In Marciano's brisk third novel (after Rules of the Wild and Casa Rossa), an unlikely pair of women are dispatched to war-torn Afghanistan circa 2004 to report a story about young Afghan women attempting suicide rather than entering into arranged marriages. Imo Glass is a flamboyant magazine writer who wants the story no matter what societal taboos she tramples. Maria Galante, an award-winning but emotionally withdrawn photojournalist, has forsaken dangerous assignments to take pictures of fancy food for fancy magazines, until her agent persuades her to take this job... This work of fiction, rooted in harsh reality, tackles moral complexities with powerful self-assurance." | |
