Spin Cycle

Elise Maron arrives in the city at nineteen with a duffel bag, two hundred dollars, and the particular freedom of having nothing left to lose. Both parents gone. Her hometown a museum of their absence. What she finds behind the bar at Indigo - a place run by her Aunt Claire - is the first version of herself she has chosen deliberately.

What follows is an education.

A photographer who sees structure where others see surface. An engineer who mistakes nothing for anything. A surgeon who offers comfort with both hands and cannot offer more. A designer who gives everything and receives less in return. Each encounter changes her. None of them completes her.

Spin Cycle is a novel about desire as a form of self-knowledge. About the difference between being wanted and knowing what you want. About what it takes to choose your own life with full knowledge of the alternatives.

For readers who want their intelligence respected and their emotions earned.
